Fare thee well, Conan.

Conan bowed out last Friday. I won't eulogize because the mountain of farewells have become somewhat morbid. But I did think he gave a sincere and moving speech. I particularly liked this. "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." Well said, Mr. O'Brien.

And a final salvo to this late night ordeal...some perspective, historical and otherwise, from the singular Jimmy Kimmel.
