"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."
-Conan O’Brien
I haven't been following the latest installment of The Tonight Show with Conan hosting it. It just sorta happens when you don't watch television at all. But i grew up watching Conan on Late Night. It was a great way to pass time during those insomniac nights. He kept me company for a good chunk of my entire pregnancy. Dylan even used to respond to his voice (strange, i know) when we'd watch reruns at noon. I was psyched to hear that he was replacing Leno when it was first announced in '06. He had mentioned that it was an honor and was once something he had only considered a dream.
How sad that he has to leave after only a few short months with the show he's always wanted- after he moved across the country for it! Uprooted his family, his staff and everything.
How overwhelming to see all the support fans have given him from all over the globe.
How interesting the skits and segments they've come up with to spite NBC and have a few good laughs about this stressful ordeal.
There must be something great in store for him. That's usually how it is, isn't it? Can't wait to see what's coming up next for this guy.
What a character.
[Side note:
Ever wonder what it was like to have that sort of job? The pressure of having to make people laugh Every. Single. Day? And what if you have a bad day? Or someone had just pissed you off? Or what if you're not feeling quite like yourself and you're just sad? As soon as those curtains go up- you put on your show. I mean, you have to. You think about it that way and realize that it takes balls to do something like that... and you have a kind of respect for them.
I've gone to work either mad/sad/exhausted/plain out of it. I've blamed some of my worst sets on my mood. So props to those that know how to keep it together.]
