Conan is someone I've respected for so long. He wrote my absolute favorite episode of The Simpsons, "Homer Goes to College," and as a Simpsons-fanatic back in the day, meeting the man behind so many of my favorite comedic moments of all time is elating. But ever since I've started watching him, I've been a fan. I respect and admire him as much as anybody in entertainment. Who knows what it means as a career for a stand-up, we shall see. Hopefully a milestone. But I know that Conan is the sought-ought after TV appearance amongst my comic peers because so many of us grew up laughing our asses off at his work. Everyone I know respects Conan O'Brien implicitly.
