My Take
Conan O'Brien is my favorite case study in intelligence weaponized for silliness. A Harvard man who wrote for Saturday Night Live and The Simpsons could have coasted as a smug satirist; instead he spent three decades throwing his gangly body into absurd bits with total commitment. What I admire most is his resilience. The Tonight Show debacle would have curdled most careers, but he rebuilt on cable and then reinvented himself again in podcasting, arguably funnier than ever. He treats comedy as a craft and an act of generosity, and few broadcasters have aged so gracefully by refusing to grow up.
