laugh hard. run fast. be kind.

Conan has been extremely rich and extremely famous for a very long time. Decades. He doesn’t talk about it, and doesn’t like to show it off, but the guy has pretty much anything he could ever want, and I mean that literally. It’s the kind of life one can only try to dream up. He owns his own show, and can do anything he wants (as evidenced by Conan Without Borders, the podcast, etc etc). Conan could easily be a raging asshole, or at the very least, a complete crazy weirdo, and no one could really fault him for it. 

But he’s not. He’s just a nice, normal guy. 

I don’t consider Conan my boss. I consider him a good friend - or even an older brother. He’s incredibly, unbelievably kind, generous, and just an all around good dude. Conan cares about the people around him; that’s why people never leave our show. It’s an awesome place to work, filled with awesome people, and that comes from the fact that Conan and Jeff (our EP) are awesome people who surround themselves with cool, fun folks who they actually care about. Conan walks around the office, has inside jokes with pretty much everyone, is a great dad, and an a shining example of a passionate, hard worker - in other words, as a fan, Conan is exactly how you’d want him to be. I mean, he’s taller than you think. And he smells like nervous cheese - but otherwise, he’s exactly like you’d think.

But here’s my point: Conan doesn’t have to be any of these things. At all. He’s worked extremely hard to get to a place, both professionally and personally, where he could just tell everyone else to fuck off. But he doesn’t do that. He’s a good dude. I know of a lot of celebrities who are assholes, or super weird, but Conan’s not. 

“There’s nobody remotely like you. You’re one of the kind, just one Jeff Goldblum in the world and he’s right here.”
