The whole saga has been covered to the point of exhaustion in the US media, with Conan walking away with a cool $45 million and also likely to go to the FOX network for a brand new show. For his part David Letterman’s joy over NBC’s troubles has bubbled over in to outright self-indulgent schadenfreude in his opening monologues, largely because he was overlooked for the job himself more than a decade ago. The upside is that someone as funny as Conan O’Brien, fresher and funnier than both Leno and Letterman for many years, has an entire week left to get back at the people giving him the sack. So what do you do? Spend all their money of course. penberthyd@newsltd.com.au (David Penberthy) Lightweight http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/conan-gets-the-best-ever-revenge-on-a-bad-boss/#comments http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/conan-gets-the-best-ever-revenge-on-a-bad-boss/#item2213 Sat, 26 May 2012 20:00:49 +0000 The internet told me the date was February 10 1991. Which makes sense because I remember having just returned home from one of my first days of the fourth grade. My knowing eldest brother had positioned himself in front of my mother’s tiny TV while the rest of my brothers and sisters stood around for a glimpse. Standing silently transfixed in front of that first episode of The Simpsons we were like a group of peasants listening to the Emperor’s voice for the first time over the radio. From here it would all be different. http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/happy-20th-birthday-to-the-greatest-show-ever-made/ The internet told me the date was February 10 1991.
