Coco no moemoe

It's a sad day Candorteers, Conan O' Brien's last show as the Tonight Show host came and gone. Due to circumstances that I'm sure you're aware of, Conan's stint as host was a measly seven months.

What surprised me the most about his last show was when Conan had the opportunity to speak freely on the subject of his resignation, he had all the right in the world to stick it to NBC, but he took the high road instead. The following is a excerpt of Conan O' Brien's farewell speech;

"Every comedian dreams of hosting the `Tonight' show and, for seven months, I got to. I did it my way, with people I love, and I do not regret a second. I've had more good fortune than anyone I know, and if our next gig is doing a show in a 7-Eleven parking lot, we'll find a way to make it fun....I hate cynicism; It's my least favorite quality and it doesn't lead anywhere. Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get. But if you work really hard and you're kind, amazing things will happen."

Cone-bone went on to thank NBC for giving him his first break and more than 20 years of employment. It was good to see someone that I admire go out with class, still giving me a reason to admire them.

In one of the terms of the buy out O' Brien will not be able to do interviews for three months, and it will be an addition four months before we see Conan behind a late night desk.

All I have to say is...We'll be waiting.

Thanks,

P.S. Poor Andy =/

Wonderful! You brighten my day and inspire me. I'm headed to the movies at this very moment and they can't star without me...I'm the star and the director and the producer and the writer so let's get on with the show!
