Here are some interesting final thoughts on Conan O'Brien from Bomani Jones, who has a different perspective than any I've seen elsewhere on the intertubes cos he himself was recently fired (when one of the local sports radio stations bought the other one last year, they ended up cancelling a bunch of programming, most of it local). I was surprised, at first, that O'Brien was able to take the high road. But it was really an impressive way to go out. Over the weekend I caught up with the live blog that AV Club did and some of the folks on there just seemed to have been completely confounded by Conan's decision to stay classy. Personally, I could've done without the ending jam on "Freebird" (it's just one of those songs I never want to hear again) but I certainly can't begrudge him his self-indulgence.

Oh, and remember, no kicking penguins.
