"Conan once said, 'But if you work really hard and you're kind, amazing things will happen. I'm telling you, amazing things will happen.' These words resonate deeply with me as I reflect on the incredible era we've been privileged to experience. I've never felt so fortunate to be alive at a time that brought such unique talents and moments to the forefront. If it wasn't for Conan's show in '93, I wouldn't have witnessed Tenacious D perform four times, nor would I have been introduced to the myriad of other talented individuals that have graced his stage. This connection might seem small, but it's part of a larger tapestry of entertainment and legacy we've all witnessed thanks to visionaries like Conan.

​@@luckyDancer100 the generational division should just be generally perceived, actually. Since everyone has different environment of development, they might not align well with their categorized generation. For example gen X was born in the era where most kids have to learn to be independent because parents are divorcing like trends and ignore them to their own device (thus the title latchkey kids, because they have their own keys to enter home after school, a home that their parents rarely present). However, not all parents are divorced and distant, so their kids don't have the general personality of a latchkey kid. These kids are still categorized as gen X because they were born in this era, but truly they're of other generation at heart.

Us real Gen X wouldn't fall apart inside, we just figure things out on our own. It's Gen Y and Z who fall apart because they never learned how to be self sufficient. Their hovering parents never gave them the space to fail and pick themselves back up again, so they all grew up weak.

Also, Conan speaking of himself in 3rd person was pure gold 😅😅😅😅

Sonja steady working to bring down Conan's good cheer. Its working.

Conan is one of the bosses who when they started was treated very badly, but who always said when I am a boss I will make sure that none of my workers are afraid of me and feel in an environment of pressure and stress, and he achieved it, you can see that the environment work is great, Conan understood the truth of a good work environment in which you work and everything comes naturally without people walking on tiptoe near Conan the boss, in the end you have people who enjoy their work, that can be seen in the work team in a genuine way and that is why Conan is one of the best comedians and talk show interviewers, without being double-faced on screen and off screen, as everyone knows about Ellen de Generes and Jimmy Fallon, who are real fake cretins outside of camera

My only wish is to talk to Conan once And then my life is settled 😂
