I shall dedicate this blog to a very special person. This special person is Conan O’Brien. Conan has had a place in my heart for awhile now. He has made millions laugh at his funny remarks. Not to mention the laughs the he brought us at the expense of his “Walker, Texas Ranger” lever. If you do not know why I am writing this by know I shall tell you a brief story.
NBC has aired The Tonight Show since 1954. The most notable host is of course Johnny Carson. Carson, however, is not the problem in this situation. Carson left the show in 1992 and was replaced with Jay Leno. Leno continued his run until 2009 and was replaced by Conan O’Brien.
O’Brien was once the host of “Late Night with Conan O’Brien.” He started the gig in 1993 where he held it until 2009, when he was called up to the big leagues.
Now it seems that NBC has stuck their foot in their mouth and are trying to push back his time slot. They are trying to make room for Leno’s show, which is getting moved back in an attempt to make better ratings.
As a youthful watcher of the “Tonight Show” it pains me to see one of the best comedians getting pushed around. Conan stated that he will leave the show if they push it back until 12:05 AM. I am glad that he wont support this change. I support him and so should you.
There are several ways to support Conan. One is to join this facebook group.
Come on everyone and support Conan. If you don’t we could be missing out on this sweet action.
He is gonna come back in a big way. I’m talking Chapelle Show, hilarity. I’m with COCO: http://ribsramblings.wordpress.com/2010/01/15/pistols-at-dawn-conan-obrien-jay-leno-and-the-late-night-debacle/
