Dear Conan,

“The massive outpouring of support and passion from so many
people has been overwhelming. The rallies, the signs, all the goofy, outrageous creativity on the internet, and the fact that people have traveled long
distances and camped out all night in the pouring rain to be in our audience, made a sad situation joyous and inspirational.

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 type this while wearing a Late Night T-Shirt, with my Tonight Show hat sitting on my desk, like a dedicated True Nerd.
No, I am NOT ashamed.

Thank You for some 17 years of awesome. Not counting The Simpsons.
I spent 16 years waiting to see your show. I was honored to be their first day.
Hope you enjoyed your time in LA… we truly enjoyed every minute we had you.
I want to truly apologize for the douchebaggery you experienced while here.
I really hope you know how much WE love you.
I know for a fact it won’t be long til I see you again, but I miss you already.
I will wait for you and watch you where ever you pop up.
You can be really inspirational, even when you’re not trying. Watching the way you handled yourself and this whole situation is a testament to being grateful, decent and graceful as sh*t under extreme amounts of pressure.
On top of that… you have given me many years of genuine happy and wonderful memories.
It takes a truly special person to do that.
And thank you for your words of advice. I will say this; in this life, it’s REALLY hard not to be cynical. But I was listening. And I will try simply because you said so.
Good Luck. (Not that you need it.)

Love, Me.
