Quote of the Day: Conan O'Brien, on his dream to be a talk show host on basic cable

Conan O'Brien is funny. He is back, of course, on TBS. Here is the story, from AP:
"Conan O'Brien returns to late-night TV with ease"

"He acknowledged that 'it's not easy doing a late-night show on a channel without a lot of money and that viewers have trouble finding. So that's why I left NBC.'"

"He boasted that his new show is already scoring 'in TBS' key demographic: people who can't afford HBO.'"

"And he insisted, 'I've dreamed of being a talk-show host on basic cable ever since I was 46.' He's now 47."

That last one was my favorite, by the way.
