Friday Night Open Thread

By Jeralyn

Conan O'Brien sighs off tonight. The NY Times has quotes from his monologue and the text of his entire closing. He takes the high road, particularly with respect to NBC. A snippet:

To all the people watching, I can never thank you enough for your kindness to me and I’ll think about it for the rest of my life. All I ask of you is one thing: please don’t be cynical. I hate cynicism — it’s my least favorite quality and it doesn’t lead anywhere.

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.

I'm going to tune in later just to watch him deliver them. (Of course, since I am cynical, I have to add that if I had just been handed $30 million, I'd be feeling charitable towards everyone too.)

This is an open thread, all topics welcome.
