I want to be a loser like Conan O'Brien! |

32 million. Now that's what you call restitution.

He stood up for his staff and made sure they got a payoff also. Many people would never have done that much. In that respect, that makes Conan a decent human being.

14. I heard another 12 mil helped pay for their severance package. |
|
I thought he was a big mensche for not taking the 12:00 slot. I like Jimmy Fallone or Fallon, and you could tell the guy was grateful that Conan was big enough to stop the domino effect.

though I'm sure he's not a happy camper. Unfortunately when things go the way they're suppose to go, like getting paid 32 mil for a breach of contract, well, the person can't appreciate it because they haven't experienced the alternative -- what we all would get if it were us -- the shaft.

5. Me too!...and to be honest, I'm glad for the opportunity to |
|
"congratulate" you on spelling "loser" correctly!...I say this only half tongue in cheek because I've been seeing a lot of "loose" and "loosing" on this board lately!
I'm not a spelling nazi, but I don't want us to look like the frigging freepers!:eyes:

6. My big spelling problem is |
|
decimate when I mean disseminate. Or suprise, instead of surprise. And it took me years to get harridan right.

16. With some words (like the examples you've given) it's |
|
understandable, but with an every day word like "lose" or "loose"...It's hard to understand...Another one I've noticed, though not on DU, is "quite" for "quiet"...I don't know why people would have a problem with that and a few others -- all you have to do is sound them out!

17. I've wondered the same |
|
No skin off my back over who hosts a show I don't watch anymore, but I saw O'Brien from time to time after Letterman left NBC, and the show was extremely unfunny.

I don't care who gets what and it irritates me that they act like this is a major story and we need them to get through the day. Conan always acts as if he is uncomfortable as though he didn't want to be there.
Yesterday,I saw a clip of a lot of Conan supporters outside NBC studios and I asked myself "FOR WHAT!" Who in the hell is he as I watched these silly ass people admiring him "FOR WHAT!!!"
