True Confessions:

I have fallen grievously behind on my late-nite TV viewings, having not experienced my typical insomnia in many weeks now. Therefore, I have missed pretty much all of the recent antics by Leno, Letterman, and the like.

However, I did remember that this Tonight Show switchover was coming up, and when I went to research that on The Google, I discovered that last week featured the final 5 episodes of Late Night With Conan O’Brien. I show I typically never watch. However, when it’s down to the short strokes, I’m a sucker for emotional farewells. So I taped the entire run, and Mrs. That Dan Guy and I watched it as the week passed.

The first episode sort-of solidified why we never warmed to Conan – passably amusing, but likely more so to himself and his staff of writers. However, by the second and third shows, we were routinely cracking up – especially at some of the segments from past shows.

By the last two shows, we had no regrets with tuning in, and watching this passing of the TV torch. Will we watch him in his new Tonight Show spot?

Not likely, but best wishes nonetheless…

Chow for now!!
