Everything's Amazing. Nobody's happy
Well I guess this shit really blew up.
This was my last time on Conan (ever, I guess, in the "Late Night" era). It went pretty viral back in October but NBC took it down off of Youtube because they are very very smart and they know that when people start spreading a clip around that raises awareness and popularity of their shows, that is a bad thing.
Anyway, some people put it back up and for some reason, the last few weeks, it has really blown up. It seems that Facebook was the main propellant.
I have been trying to decide what to say about it. Well, Vanity Fair did an interview with me about it, more specifically a fellow named Eric Spitznagel. I have to give him credit because I remember sounding like a dolt but he formed my thoughts in the following article in a way that makes me sound smart. This article pretty much says whatever I have to say about the clip and what it's about.
I'm glad people are enjoying it. If you come and see me on tour you'll see a much longer, extended version of this, as I"ve been developing it greatly since that appearance, when it was only a few weeks old.

That was a lovely little piece of work there. I'm telling my friends this all the time. I can't BELIEVE how... Upset and generally unhappy people are in this day and age.
Thought I'd write something since your comments were so sparse. ;)
OH SHIT! Just noticed you're coming to Milwaukee in April. Might have to check that out. :D
Great stuff, Louis. I loved that bit too. In fact I so agree with it that I decided to put up a little better quality version of it, somewhere outside of NBC's powers (I hope?).
Trust me, even in mainland Europe your rants are appreciated by many. Keep doing what you're doing, it's worth it, even if the sun's gonna explode anyway.
I posted that video on my Facebook last week. There's a great high quality version on Hulu:
