Hey, did anyone watch the Tonight Show last night? I forgot to watch and see how Leno fared after the whole fiasco before the Olympics started. How did he look? Did he seem comfortable? I read a quick story that only mentioned a couple of his monologue jokes and a few audience members who were already fans. Anybody got details?

Well, I watched the final Tonight Show with Conan, and I must say I sam impressed with how he carried himself that night.  He came out and made his cracks against NBC, justifiably so, and went through his show like normal.  What impressed me most was his farewell. He was thankful to NBC for all of his opportunities even though he acknowledged they were parting due to differences.  He then thanked his fans for their support and you could see the emotion starting to get to him.  But I loved the message to the young people about cynicism and the lack of anything positive that comes from it.  If anyone had a right to be cynical, it was Conan, but he was there expressing his appreciation for everything and saying this is the best way to handle adversity.

Nice job, Conan.  We’ll see you in the future.  I know we will.
