Conan O'Brien, "Things happen for a reason…" & Sets His Plans (60 Minutes Interview)

I like that I'm watching Conan O'Brien on Mashable. Something about that feels right, feels social media, feels current.

60 Minutes Interview with Conan O'Brien

The beard, the guitar and Andy Richter. Yes, I think he'll come storming back for some wacky humor. Not always my favorite, but let's get this out there too, I CAN'T STAND LENO. Never have, never will. Except for his Tesla, now that's cool. But Conan shows himself to be a class act. His final days of broadcasts were some of the funniest late night I remember. And closing out with Will Ferrell doing his cowbell act on Free Bird, was a climax of unexpected joy.

This is a good look at Conan's afterlife. What he's been doing, what he's been thinking, how his wife took it right beside him.

I look forward to the return on cable of the man with the shocking red hair and the sometimes extremely funny skits. His spirit shows through in this interview. I doubt we will ever hear the honest story from the other guys.

Electronista for delivering a knockout post.

Omar Gallaga from the Austin Amercian Statesman for keeping us up to speed locally.

David S. Rauf from the San Antonio Express News who was interviewing me yesterday when we found out TWC had backed down.

Thanks to everyone who participated. We have more work to do, as TWC said they were delaying the "tests" until October while they educate us about the benefits of their tiered pricing. (grin)
