How Conan was able to take the closing theme with him to TBS: Jimmy Vivino wrote and holds the copyright on the closing music, I believe.
Interestingly enough, as of the beginning of Feburary the titles on "Conan" began to be compressed, so the theme's shorter, we open with the family getting out of the car and running into the house (they stopped doing the Thursday "couch gag" bit with the family some time ago) and the nightly Quinn Martin homage of "Tonight's Episode" has ended (although they got far away from imitating the "Adjective of Death/Murder" Martin episode titles early on and Andy never tried to imitate Hank Sims).
