What we can all learn from Conan O’Brien
1. Great hair will get you far.
2. Being able to laugh at yourself will get you farther.
Conan O’Brien’s final Tonight Show felt so real, I thought I was up there with Dawn swaying to all the guitars while hugging my belly. (Except my belly is full of popcorn rather than baby, but same visual effect, really).
If Conan O’Brien shoots from a 7-11 parking lot, I’d watch. If he shoots a show on YouTube, I’d watch. I think most of us would. Because not only can he make us laugh, he’s just gotten so close to our hearts that we didn’t notice our left ventrical is really a tall, lanky, Irish guy making sure the blood gets through. He calls himself a comedian and we call him awesome.
During the last segment of his last show Conan’s addressed the audience, “especially to the young people watching” and said a few things I really want to post here:
“Please don’t be cynical. I hate cyncism. It is my least favourite quality. 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. I’m telling you, amazing things will happen. It’s just true.”
Thank you, Conan and I’m sure we will see you revolutionizing TV soon no matter where you air from.
