CBS News released a slew of excerpts from Conan O’Brien’s 60 Minutes interview. Let’s get right to it.
On NBC’s claims that The Tonight Show is losing money…
O’Brien: “I honestly don’t see how that’s possible. It’s really not possible. It isn’t possible.”
Where does he go from here?
“No, I have not resolved all my issues. I am mostly very happy. I love this tour it’s the most thrilling thing I’ve done in my career. And so I’m in a really great place in a lot of ways. But I’d be lying if I said I don’t have my moments of everything, you know, anger, disappointment, frustration and just confusion.”
Does he have any regrets about the past year?
“I don’t regret anything. I don’t regret one decision I made in that week and a half period. I wish it had ended differently. But, I’m fine. I do believe, and this might be my Catholic upbringing or Irish magical thinking, but I think things happen for a reason. I really do.”
Does he feel he was screwed, as many people have claimed?
“The biggest thing people come up and say to me in gas stations and restaurants, I have so many people say this to me. ‘Hey partner, you got screwed.’ I don’t, and I always tell them, ‘No, I didn’t. I didn’t get screwed. I’m fine. It just didn’t work out.’
