Down Under, Day 11: Meanwhile, back in Los Angeles...
It's already late in the evening on Monday, but I wanted to put this out there so everybody who might not have already been linked to it can see it. This is straight-up inspirational stuff. The Late Night saga has been recapped and dissected by probably millions of bloggers by now, so I won't chew up many more megabytes with my own thoughts except to say this: it would have been so easy to view this moment as cheap and insincere, the tradeoff Conan had to give to NBC in an exchange for them to be embarrassed as little as possible considering how much they've monumentally f*&ked things up to this point.
It wasn't. It was 100% genuine from the gut - and this from a man who absolutely got screwed with his pants on in front of a worldwide television audience. If Conan O'Brien can stand up and say these things, at a moment when nobody would blame him for being bitter and stand-offish, than there might just be hope for the rest of us.
