Moving a Generation

So, it’s been all over the news. Yep, Conan O’Brien got screwed by NBC and Jay Leno. And yes, I’m going to include Leno on this one because there is this thing called integrity and during the whole fiasco, he showed none.
I think a lot of people can relate to Conan. At some point in everyone’s life, we’ve all been thrown under the bus at some point. Yes, you can point fingers, raise a huge stink, but it’s what you do at the end of the day that makes a difference. And what he said in his speech on the last Tonight Show couldn’t have been more sincere and more meaningful. If you haven’t already, watch his last show. And specifically watch his final monologue while he’s sitting at his desk near the end of the show. THAT’S why I watched Conan on Late Night, THAT’S why I watched him on The Tonight Show, and THAT is why I will watch him on his next show.
The thing about Conan’s fans? We are a group of intelligent, thoughtful, and fun people. And yeah, we might laugh at Triumph the Insult Comic Dog and the absurdity that is The Masturbating Bear, but who doesn’t like physical comedy you don’t have to think about every once in a while? There might not be a billion of us, there might not even be a million of us, but we are loud and we are loyal and we will follow him wherever he goes just to show Leno and NBC that it’s not just about money and ratings.
