conan o'brien and did the tonight show in the classiest way possible all we've heard
right we have a video of its all show that in just a minute and a lot of big names on
yet tom hanks on neil young
%uh welfare all so it's enough to be a great show and as i said he was
super classy and super nice and bc even though they consider
it's impossible not to like so i'm a hype it up like that arnelle as well
s that should be said
obvious but a lot of speculation in the press
about what i really can he can say
about n_b_c_ and this is a joke to set the record straight and this is true tonight i'm
allowed to say
anything i want
%um and no i was not a joke about the banks there %uh tonight i really am allowed to say
whatever i want and and and what i want to say is this
between my time internalized
the late night show
and my brief run here in the tonight show
i've worked at n_b_c_ for over twenty years
yes we have our differences right now
yes we're going our separate ways
but this company has been my home for most of my adult life
i'm enormously
of the work we've done together
and i want to bank in bc for making it all possible
i really did
card
%uh
a lot of people been asking you about my state of mind and i'll be in a few walking away
from the tonight show is the hardest thing
i'd ever had to do
%um making this choice has been enormously difficult
this is the best job in the world ait absolutely love doing it
and i have the %uh the best staff recruiting the history of the media i will fight anybody
says i don't
%uh but no one would %uh
%uh but despite this sense of loss
i really feel that should be a happy moment
every comedian every comedian dreams of hosting the tonight show
and for seven months i'd like to do it
and
egg it my way
with people that love i do not regret one second of anything but
denying carotene for a walk on the street now we're just %uh the
the service have looked at
i have had more good fortune than anybody i know
and of our next gig if you were shown a seven-eleven parking lot we will find a way to make it
fun we really well i dot no problem
and don't want to do it instead of having part
but whatever i finally
%uh i have some to say about to our friends
this massive outpouring or of support
impassioned
from so many people
has been overwhelming
the rallies the signs all this goofy outrageous creativity on the internet %uh
the facts the people
have trouble long distances and camped out all-night in the pouring rain
here's what all of you have done that you made it past that situation joyous an inspirational
since all the people watching i can never ever
thank you enough for the kindness to me out think about it for the rest of my wife an
all i ask is one thing in this is i'm asking is particularly of young people that watch
please do not be cynical
i'd hate cynicism for the record it's my least favorite quality 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 your kind
amazing things will happen
i'm telling you amazing things will happen
cat
i loved every piece of that but
i'd loved what he said at the end to usaid you know book %uh
i don't like the cynicism and you have to believe and he's been incredibly lucky in
a lot of ways yeah i mean you got a raw deal here there buddy greasy got a raw deal yet
%uh he cut a lot of great pics before that you know it's great to see made knowledge
that and
and i'm not saying because local russo look here whatever i want to say it was a classy
thing to say hey look we're all
partly a product of our circumstances and cetera et cetera joins us with a bad but look
at the great stuff that's been happened to be appreciative
%uh so
a friend of mine watch that and he's not a huge confidant
and he said it was incredible itis was she was funny
prophetic right and then after that i can listen to or watch them all the time and and
an ecosystem that you could really disagree with him and i know a lot of people think
or solaris no question
the blackberry course edirectory %um
%uh it makes you want to give the guy second chance alia anything that he didn't like for
the guys who like him they admit they made some love
i was completely indifferent ok to meet content leno it's all the same it's all jumbled up
in one hotmail catherine
but but
this entire experience has made comments stand out in my mind and yet they showed me what
do you need a person d_a_'s
how strong he is and the fact that he's a man of principle which is something that i
highly respect ok someone who actually says that it is something any follow through with
it it's not easy to walk away from the tonight show and he was the real big difference that
the half hour difference threaten but he wasn't gonna stand for that
he has not been a stab at are different but no i'm walking out if you guys are gonna screw
me over
and he did it
no let you know that %uh
having a recent graduate of the case because
yet on the sesame
recording to all the reports that we've got
n_b_c_ really thought that he was going to buckle
and because it was in his contract that if he had to be at eleven thirty five so he could
have gotten
theoretically nothing ever but the realities of course it was never going to not get anything
right
but he played is so strong
but he actually got more
or here forty five million dollar straight
this is a look at me make this into a nightmare for you what a mess with me okay
and other guy could be easily crumble under the circumstances
and you see the generally care about the tonight show or not want to screw it up
you know after seeing democrats crumble ta rapid fire in the political side of the news
that we cover
this is a guy like that stand up
and deliver
and you know he's gonna get it nice contract somewhere else
and then keep on doing the show i think he is
it was mostly plate all round
and so when he does get that new show undertaken a and i think a lot of people are going to
be like me if they watch card already of course it would be excited but even if they didn't
want her before the right now you know what as a stand-up guy absolutely was given a shot
nicely play well-placed well play
%uh and i don't think it's displayed by the way
you know he meant it that's what i would like
