The Wisdom Of Coco
Tantrum gathered last night for our ’09 Christmas party – we just couldn’t get it coordinated with seven different schedules in December. Our conversational topics ran the gamut over the course of the evening until it got later and Dennis began talking about Conan O’Brien’s last show and all the drama surrounding that situation. We figured it would be worth it to check out his final (at this point anyway) Tonight Show hosting appearance to see what outrageousness he had in store. We were not disappointed. If you missed it, you can watch it here while it’s still available.
There were many truly hysterical, laugh out loud moments, but the thing that really stuck with me was his honest, heart-felt sentiments regarding his tenure at NBC and personal credo on cynicism. Check it out while it lasts.
What a class act!
*EDIT*
It just struck me that there are likely still many people out there – as hard as it may be to believe – who have no idea what is going on with the recent late night wars and how it all got started.
David Letterman sums it up nicely.
Craig Ferguson speaks on the topic.
Jimmy Kimmel explains.
I’ll add more as I find them. You’re welcome.
Conan’s plea that “cynicism will get you nowhere” was insightful and inspiring. You’re right about him being a class act. And a true gentleman.
