i can't think straight right now

This will seem ridiculous. VERY. I'm already warning you. So if ever you read this and go, "This is the silliest thing I've ever read--this girl is just too insane sometimes," well. I already said I warned you. ;PPP

Here we go.

Honest to God, I've never been upset of any show on television that has ended. What's weird is that I never expected to be this upset, that I believe it has entered my subconsciousness for good. What's even weirder is that although the show has ended, its host will still be around--actually long around and have, technically, a better stint than he had for the past 16 years--and will just be relocated to a warmer, more laid-back environment.

For those who are familiar with the Late Night Talk Show scene, you already know whom I'm talking about. For those who are not, he's Conan o'Brien (I'm not linking anything--I'm pretty sure you recognize that name).

I swear I don't know what's wrong with me that (1) I'm writing about this; (2) I'm feeling like this towards this subject; and (3) I'm writing about how I'm feeling like this towards this subject. ~~God I barely even make sense right now.~~ Nevertheless, I've decided to do this anyway, hoping that this is just how I can get over this.

Yes, a part of me cannot get over everything. Again, I wish I knew exactly why. Perhaps since he is leaving New York, 30 Rock, a part of me seems upset with that. (And I might know the reason why, but I prefer not to dish it out here, lol.)

I think it would be best to tell you how I've come to love this host, although I haven't been following him too closely in reality (which I regret, but more on this later).

Let's just say I've watched enough nightly talk shows in order to pick a favorite: David Letterman, Jay Leno, Craig Ferguson, Jimmy Kimmel. (I know it's not everyone, but it's enough, right?) When I was a bit younger, about a few years, I never really noticed the difference among these hosts. I thought they were all the same. And yet, yet, Conan has captured my heart without me knowing it. I mean, I don't know when I started favoring him over all the other hosts, but I surely did.

I remember getting a bit bummed out that we only had David Letterman over here before, a few years ago, because I really wanted to watch Conan for some reason. Don't get me wrong, I certainly understand Letterman's humor, but it was just not entertaining enough for me. (And trust me, with this attention span, a show would be lucky enough to hold my attention for five minutes. Seriously.)

My best guess as the reason for this is that I have been hooked on his charms. As you probably know by now, I'm known to be susceptible to charms, so. Anyway, ever since, I have regarded him as one of my most favorite persons in the whole world.

But it wasn't until recently that I'd realized why I fell in love with him in the first place. I guess you could say that it was hitting two birds with one stone, because as I realized that little fact, I also discovered an entire new fandom which I'm currently enjoying thank you very much. :D But I digress. I think I've come to love Conan (and appreciate his humor) for lots of reasons: he's honest, quirky, smart--being part of SNL and the Simpsons writing staff before hosting Late Night (YES I HAVE TO ADD THAT YOU DON'T HAVE TO KILL ME FOR THAT), he's the type to laugh at himself (which, btw, I admire A LOT), and. He's an awesome, awesome person. Also, I think the way he interviews his guests is the most effective method I've ever seen anyone use. It makes him seem a lot more approachable than most hosts. :)

Moving on, I've learned of his move to an earlier timeslot, replacing Jay Leno on the Tonight Show, about two years ago, so actually, this wasn't a big surprise. But I guess the fact that he's moving from one side of the country to the other, I'm sure there will be a lot of changes because of that.

I still love the fact that he stated in his "farewell" speech on his last show that he'd never grow up. Honestly that statement made my heart flutter, for two reasons: I'm glad he doesn't want to change, despite moving to an earlier timeslot and being exposed to a bigger audience; and I absolutely love people who don't let other people's judgments affect their own, if they're not doing anything wrong of course. I admire Conan for saying that once and for all, and I'm pretty sure all his fans appreciate that as much as I do. ♥

So to speak, I'm having mixed feelings about this. A little piece of my heart is broken that he is leaving NYC, but of course, a huge part of me is happy and wants him to succeed to LA, which I hope he really does. And what the hell am I so sad about? It's more possible that I get to be in LA than in NY for God's sake. Xp

But there is one thing that makes me sad more than anything else: I keep on regretting that I didn't watch Late Night when I had every chance I got. I've encountered this show for more than just three years, and it's only within the last four months that I get to watch it religiously. *sigh* Don't worry Conan, I'll surely stand by the Tonight Show when you start hosting it. :D

As part of my conclusion (LOL this sounds so formal when it's supposed to be a bit personal), here are some of the reviews/news reports--which have convinced me to post this even more--that I've encountered while randomly surfing the web:
Conan O'Brien packing up for move West - This news was the first one; it certainly made me realize how soon he was leaving Late Night.
Conan O'Brien Takes a Bow on Last Late Night - What irks me about this whole moving thing is how some people wouldn't give Conan a chance, whether they are a Leno or a Carson fan. But that's about the comments on this post, lol. I couldn't care less what they think, Conan is Conan. Anyways, I totally love the last line of this news post. SO TRUE.
Good-bye to Conan's 'Late Night' - FINALLY, fans who totally love Conan. (This is why I love TWoP as well!) This is a recap and commentary just a few days before the final show.
Our Last Look at Conan's 'Late Night' - THE REPORT THAT HAS GOTTEN ME WEEPING IN FRONT OF MY COMPUTER SCREEN FOR SOMETHING THAT'S NOT EVEN PERMANENT. T____________T Why? Because what they said in that was all true and touching and a-and. I just wept. I still have tears in my eyes whenever I think about it.

Look, I know he's not leaving! ;P He even laughed during his last shows whenever people in the audience booed him for leaving NY, saying he'd never be gone (or dead XD). But you know, I'll miss Late Night for sure.

Interesting tidbit: Would you believe I dreamt about Conan the night his last show aired here? NOT KIDDING, OH NO. I was hanging out with him in Hollywood, and he was showing me around (wasn't that supposed to be the other way around? XD). I guess even my subconsciousness knew how upset I was that night. Oh well.

Oh and another random note: The Lonely Island's album weep it's killing me with its awesomeness. I seriously don't know how or why, but I'm amazingly addicted to the songs. B-Boys. Why so talented and funny at the same time. ;o; (I congratulate Andy, Jorma and Kiv for such a successful album! \o/ Love you boys. ♥)

EDIT: HAPPY BIRTHDAY GEORGE HARRISON! ♥
Keeping my promise, lol.
