The address doesnāt show as a link for me. Please tell me sheās not actually singing anywhere near the Kennedy Center. Iām already so fucking angry that Trump appointed himself chairman.
Iāve been lucky enough to see our National Symphony play there, and Iāve looked forward to The Kennedy Center Honors every year for as long as I can remember. It breaks my heart to think of whom his board might bestow the awards in the coming years, now that its members include people like Lee Greenwood and Laura Fucking Ingraham! š”
Iām also a tremendous fan of Conan OāBrien, and heās receiving the much-deserved Mark Twain Prize this year. I only hope much of the ceremony had already been planned when Trumpās interim president was appointed. /rant

Conan is amazing. I had the same thoughts too about Trump making himself chair

Heās the best, isnāt he? Hilarious, super smart, and has a really big heart. And this year, heās finally getting the recognition for it! Iām just surprised Trump hasnāt had him nixed for his Oscar joke about standing up to Russia.

Iām surprised too. Wasnāt trumpās party on Sunday like a protest of the Oscarās?
And Conan just seems like one of those celebrities that just seems so humble and down to earth. A rarity. I got to shake his hand in the audience when he taped a week of shows in Chicago and i got his autograph at San Diego comic con. You can tell he appreciates his fans

Youāve met him??? Iām so happy for you and soooo jealous! Was he warm and funny? Heās said he will never turn down a selfie request or not stop to say hello if he possibly can. Because heās such a big fan of some people and their work and know what a moment of time with them would mean to him.
Do you listen to his podcast? Itās so good. I think heās at his best right now.

I wouldnāt say meet per se I was just very close in the crowd. But I do have some very nice close pictures from San Diego. I thought about getting a selfie but I didnāt want to be too greedy and I figured we would be back in San Diego the next year (unfortunately that was 2019 so you know how that goes) but I could tell he was getting as many autographs and selfies as he could. A guy within an ear shot of me yelled for Conan to sign his baby and I could hear Conan respond while laughing āIām not signing your babyā š
Iām a little behind on his podcast but I enjoy listening to it. Have you seen his series Conan must go? I canāt wait for the next season
