Supplemental Post 4: Conan O'Brien

In case you missed the 60 Minutes piece on Conan O'Brien, it made me feel quite uncomfortable. Conan would continuously cackle about the predicament he was put in and you could tell he is VERY pissed off about the situation he's been put in. He is now on a comedy tour, the only thing he's really allowed to do, considering the contract he signed with NBC saying he can't start another show until September. The show seems to mainly consist of him singing songs and telling jokes about how he got screwed by NBC. Although uncomfortable, it was another great piece by the journalists of 60 Minutes to get behind the mind of a famous scorned man. It is easy to see he is very upset about what happened. He will be starting his new late night talk show on TBS, which is an interesting move. He obviously won't get nearly as many viewers as he did on NBC, but he should get a loyal following. I wish him the best of luck.
