Before tonight I had never seen one minute of the “Tonight Show” with Conan O’Brien. I tuned in for the first time last night, to catch the last 15 minutes of his final show. And as I watched Conan choke up during his classy farewell speech, I felt like a diehard fan after his team has lost the World Series — albeit a diehard fan seeing a baseball game for the first time.

I was thinking: Those bastards are taking Conan away from us! What will we do now?

In the final moments of his tenure at the “Tonight Show,” Conan came across as a pretty cool guy. And it didn’t matter if I was a viewer before, because now I was rooting for him. I actually felt nostalgic for a show I had never seen.

NBC’s corporate douchebaggery has made Conan a folkhero. This whole mess has mobilized his fans, sort of like how all these celebs come out when a country is hit with an earthquake. Like Haiti, Conan, too, was hit by a natural disaster, NBC. So support Coco. Help him rebuild.

When Conan mounts a new show this fall I’ll make sure I watch. Fuck NBC! I’m with Coco. Or, thank you, NBC, you’ve given me something to look forward to watching on FOX in the fall.

But a definite fuck you to whomever cancelled “The Greatest American Hero.” That was an awesome show.
