Conan O'Brien and I became dutifully unemployed roughly around the same time, so one could say we share somewhat of a special bond with one another. In fact Conan's last show honored the airwaves the very same day I paid the final penance at my day job, and even so our beards have become almost equally as grizzled (though the volume his is able to obtain in is mustache is something to lust after). It seems I am absent only the primate on my shoulder (which some would say, I have, in form of opposing gender.. if you take my meaning)-- and maybe the $40 million severance package.
All Conan and I's life situation similarities aside, this post really serves as more of a news bulletin than anything. When unemployed one often searches for ways to entertain oneself, sometimes quite dastardly methods. In Conan's case, he has resorted to Twitter-- but not to irk out every bit of celebrity leverage he can whilst out of the spotlight. Rather to contribute self-deprecating humor and reveal the loathes of unemployment (there are none).
Name: Conan O'Brien
Location: Los Angeles
Bio: I had a show. Then I had a different show. Now I have a Twitter account.
This morning I watched Remington Steele while eating Sugar Smacks out of a salad bowl. I was naked. 26 minutes ago via web
Today I interviewed a squirrel in my backyard and then threw to commercial. Somebody help me. about 22 hours ago via web
Conan, always somehow making a mockery of whatever system he's a part of.
