By now most people have heard about Conan O'Brien's accident on the tonight show. I have watched the tonight show since this accident, and he seems embarrassed by it. I wanted to contact Conan O' Brien but I could not find contact information for him.

It is unlikely that this will ever reach Conan O' Brien but if this article does reach him, than I would want him to know that he has nothing to be embarrassed about, it was an accident, and although it was Terri Hatcher's idea to do this stunt. I hope that he will not blame her for this accident.

Since returning to work, he seems embarrassed by what happened. I have followed Conan O Brien's career since 1993 and to be honest, if something had happened to Conan O' Brien on that day, late night television would not be the same without him, and I am glad that he did not sustain a more serious injury than this. Concussion can turn into many things. I cannot speak for everyone else but I am glad to see that he is back to work, and if he does get this. I would want him to know that he has nothing to be embarressed about.

Personally I think Conan O' Brien is hysterical, he can take the simplest thing and make it funny, there are not many people who can do this, and he is a pleasure to watch at night and it is nice to see a talent that knows how to tell a joke without crude humor. Conan O' Brien can take everything that is wrong in the world, and for a brief moment make us see the humor in it.

Who else can make a joke about himself except Conan O' Brien after this accident, for example "For the first time I understood the plot of Lost". No one hopes to get hurt while filming but things occasionally do happen. I hope that Conan O' Brien continues to do what he does best, and that is make the rest of us laugh when the world seems like it is falling apart, and Conan O Brien seems to know when to do it with his timing, and he seems to know when to do it, when we need it the most.

I cannot speak for others, but for me Conan O' Brien is the king of late night television.
