Conan O'Brien

I want to state how happy I am that Conan is back on the air. As we all know NBC took the the Tonight Show away from Conan (which he only was on for 7 months) and gave it back to Jay Leno. The decision was all about money. It was cheaper to get rid of Conan so they gave him a nice fat check and showed him the door. (Side note... Jay Leno should have just retired from television during the whole mess. He handed the reins over to Conan on national television and he should have respected that.)

So with a deal signed keeping him off air for 8 months Conan went viral. His team got him to start up a twitter account and www.teamcoco.com Not being able to be on t.v. and being a attention whore Conan started the The Legally Prohibited from Being Funny on Television Tour. Then in April a surprising announcement came out that Conan O'Brien was going to be on TBS. I heard this and was happy. I'm pretty sure I did a happy dance... well not a physical one just in my head.

I grew up watching Conan when he was on Late Night and of course followed him over to the Tonight Show. I have in fact watched every episode of the tonight show that aired (one didn't air when he fell and got a concussion racing Teri Hatcher). I have watched every episode of Conan on TBS. I like many others out there will follow him on any network he is on. He makes me laugh all the time and he is a good human being. So I want to thank TBS and all of my fellow Team Coco people for keeping him on television.

Keep up the good work Mr. O'Brien (and his awesome staff as well) and Conan... never shave that sweet beard.
