Conan O'Brien Illustration by Aaron Z. Lee 2010
No doubt you’ve heard the controversy about Jay Leno bumping Conan out of the way so he can return to the Tonight Show. I am not pleased with this at all. I have never liked Leno. I am a big Conan fan and feel that his humor and show has so much more to offer than his contemporaries. Every character on the show is priceless. The writing is always top notch and what I really like about Conan is that he really seems authentic onstage. When faced with with the smarm of old timers like Letterman and Leno and the hammed up antics of Kimmel, Fallon, and Ferguson, Conan is the obvious choice for late night supremacy. It seems like after next week’s shows that Conan might be replaced on the tonight show, but not forgotten. This guy Mike Mitchell started a facebook group that has been making some serious waves and no doubt shows us that Conan, wherever he lands, be it NBC, FOX, or the moon he’ll be alright.
