So for the past few weeks, I’ve found myself watching Man v Food reruns, SPORTSCENTER (when was the last time that happened?), and whatever random crap is on at 10:35 central. I will continue to watch this, or movies, maybe start going to the gym at that time. Actually that’s probably the best bet. Do something productive.

The absense of Coco in my TV lineup is something that hasn’t happened too regularly, except for the period between Conan giving Fallon the Late Show, and preparing for the Tonight Show. While in the past, The Late Show with Conan O’Brien was on the air at 2:40am in Houston, I would stay up then to watch it, and then followed it when it finally moved to it’s 11:35 central time slot here. Normally around the time the news/Tonight Show was on, I had them on the background while I was doing homework and hope that I finished by the time The Late Show came on. If not, the homework got set aside until later that night, or in the morning right before class. I had my priorities, mock them all you want.

Now, we wait to see what he will do next. There are a ton of rumors flying around. Conan is going to FOX, Conan is going to FX. Conan really IS hosting the new Coco Show from the parking lot of a 7/11. Some of the more serious rumors have been that Conan is going to do a comedy tour soon until his non-compete is up with NBC, which won’t be until this fall. Also, in an exciting development, Aaron Bleyaert, one of the Late Show/Tonight Show writers, tweeted the following message earlier today.

Hey everybody! I'd like to introduce you all to @conanobrien. Yes! Conan is now on Twitter. ;) about 8 hours ago via web

Could it really be? Is Coco on Twitter? Impossible. If there’s anything the internet has taught me, it’s that if it is on the internet, it isn’t real. This blog doesn’t even exist. You’re reading lost fragments of your imagination. No, it’s really real. Conan O’Brien is officially on Twitter. Follow him! DO IT.

Today I interviewed a squirrel in my backyard and then threw to commercial. Somebody help me. about 8 hours ago via web

As I write this, Conan’s twitter account has 211,596 Followers, and will probably continue to grow once more people hear about it. This is in a span of just over 7 hours. That’s about 30,000 per hour. 500 per MINUTE,  just under 8.5 per SECOND. It’s fun watching how all this is going to unfold after getting past the fact that he won’t be on air for a while.

I look forward to hearing about when/where his comedy show will be held, because I will be there day one. If there are shows in cities nearby, I will likely be there too. And as soon as his show is listed on my Uverse program guide, I will make sure that it gets a series record, and the first episode of the new show will be set to “never delete.”

I leave you with the final 7 minutes of The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien, as he rocks out to Free Bird with Will Ferrell, Max Weinberg and the Tonight Show Band, Beck, Billy Gibbons (of ZZ Top), and Ben Harper. If I leave here tomorrow… will you still remember me?
