Oh snap, son!

This is why I love Conan. People have said that they don't "get" his jokes, that he's silly, but the man knows how to construct a show. He knows that you don't build a loyal following overnight, but that you have to introduce people to jokes, build characters, let the audience get to know you and your humor and maybe build an inside joke or two.

NBC's boardroom is clearly flailing and overreacting to numbers in attempt to remain relevant. Sometimes the best thing you can do is nothing. Let it build. Let it breathe.

Just chill, NBC.
