Conan O’brien Incredible Motivational speech

what astounds me is how many young
people come to me and say Conan someday
I’m gonna be on your show then I say me
too
what do you what is it you do yeah they
don’t know that’s the crazy thing most
people it’s the Paris Hilton phenomenon
they just want to be famous and they’ve
actually seen it work they’ve seen a
number they’ve seen someone get moving
rather being famous for just being
famous what I would say to people is
you’ve got to go to where they’re making
the thing that you like and then work
there in any capacity if you have to get
coffee for somebody if you have to hold
a cable if you have to stand there and
volunteer go to where they’re making the
thing that you that moves you that gets
you excited and try and get close to it
I mean I remember four years I was aware
that I’m not doing the thing that is
going to be my life’s work but I’m close
I couldn’t you know I couldn’t even tell
you exactly what it was but I knew I was
close do not I mean I was I knew when I
was a writer at Saren out live isn’t
quite it but I’m close I knew when I was
a writer in the Simpsons this is further
away from it than I was at CERN alive so
I knew when I was close I just and and
that’s what I tell them is just go there
and don’t have an ego about it there’s
so many channels now so many stations
get in there and do it and and
eventually it’s just the Brownian
movement of molecules eventually you
getting in there and doing putting
yourself out there if you have something
to offer someone’s gonna see it at some
point
