Conan on Cynicism

Conan's "final thoughts" were dynamite! Fantastic portrait of a way to go out with class, as well as profound closing words on cynicism...

meh. forgive my cynicism, but it's easy for him to be upbeat with the severance package he got. and unfortunately for him, the tragedy in Haiti only served to underline how utterly absurd America's devotion to entertainment is.

I disagree with Pete. Obviously he's getting payed well and he'll be walking away not hurting in the bank very well at all. But it obviously gives him room to be hurt and upset when his life long dream was stolen right out from underneath him. So it's steal pretty classy that he went out saying what he did even though he had the opportunity to say what ever he wanted.

Though your statement is true, America has extremely absurd devotion to entertainment. But it doesn't remove the fact that Conan still went out with class and that's an uncommon thing these days.
