Conan O Brien Doesn t Matter – The New York Times

It helps that his brand of joyfully goofy absurdity ages well. Stewart may have repeatedly beaten him out for Emmys during the George W. Bush years, but jokes about the Iraq War have a shorter shelf life than the masturbating bear, a recurring character on O Brien s late-night show that is exactly what it sounds like. His reputation has grown as new generations have discovered his work online.

No idea what the bear is about. Not up on Conan O’Brien’s work. I can catch up online I guess. But I agree with him that he doesn’t matter, though he certainly does more than I do. Very few people matter and most who do matter only very much for the worse. I aspire to not matter at all. And I’d say I’m almost there. Well, except to my immediate amphibians.
