I'm With Coco

The corporate world is notorious for being patently impersonal, the cold faceless extension of modern capitalism. Conan O'Brien, beloved late night talk show host to many, got a first hand feel of corporate America's malevolent abuse of power when he was forced off the air by his NBC bosses. His last show on NBC's Tonight Show was this past Friday ending a brief 7 month run with the show he had been preparing for his whole life.

Holding back tears and in a spirit of relentless optimism Conan reminds his fans to not be cynical once all has transpired. "Cynicism is my least favourite quality" he said to his fans during that final taping reminding them to remember all the goods times that were had in his newly built set on the Universal lot. To handle such a personally devastating tirade with such positivity was perhaps one of the most inspiring moments I have seen on television period. This isn't the last we have seen of Mr. O' Brien and wherever he may be in the future let it be known that I'm With Coco.
