Conan O'Brien Makes Hilarious Appearance On Letterman's Late Night Show

Posted byBy Joe Cohen | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Conan O’Brien made his return back to late night. Well not as a host, but as a guest on David Letterman’s Late Night Show.

Letterman wasted no time digging into O’Brien’s relationship with Leno before and after NBC’s fiasco that replaced O’Brien’s late night show with Leno’s, and led the newly unemployed O’Brien to take a job on cable TV — Letterman dubs it “the scene of the crime.”

“Did you feel a kinship/camraderie with Leno?” Letterman asked Conan. “We’re quite different fellows and have nothing in common to talk about,” Conan replied.

“There are very few ways — and I’m not saying this in a disparaging way at all — there are very few ways in which he and I relate … we’re not interested in the same things,” O’Brien elaborated.

The two hosts shared many laughs together during the interview, and could not stop laughing from sharing their impersonations of the Tonight Show host.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
