Does anyone know where I can find a clip of Conan's post 9/11 speech? I've looked for it on youtube, but I can't find it.

I've never seen a clip but there's a transcript here: http://www.angelfire.com/tv/ConanOBrienKRUNK/sept11.html

i can say that was the most beautiful speech i ever read...

I remember reading that transcript a few months ago... very moving, I thought.

epic.

I remember this was the first episode where he stopped the famous hopping-around-like-a-monkey intro thing, and just started to walk out to the monologue area.

*sighs* ahhh september 11 is tomarrow..i was setting in a 4th grade class room shocked and speachless for the whole day....we watched the news during class. funny thing is that the moring of the attack my brother told my dad he didnt want to watch the new he wanted to watch cartoons then my dad told him that we need to watch the news if something important happens then my brother tells my dad that nothing bads going to happen to day then we were confused cuz on the way to school we heard the ppl on the radio talking about a plane crashing into a building and when i got to class they told us what happend and then we walked over to the church and prayed the rest of the school day ( i went to catholic school) it was very disturbing for me and i think it scard me. but i hate when they do these speacials on TV they just ruin my day and make me soo sad and just want to cry beucz of the all the sadness drama and good ppl that died.

Wow, you are young! I remember I was sitting in a 9th grade class during the 9/11 attacks.

What happened on 9/11 is very sad and devastating. I remember the day it happened. I was doing my homework (it was already 5 pm here in Finland) and my dad was watching TV and he asked me to come over and watch the news. And I saw what had been happened. I couldn't believe it. A friend of mine told that he thought that it was some kind of horrible/sick joke or a TV show. He couldn't believe it either.

I was in my Freshman year of high school at the time. I remember I was laying awake in bed, too lazy to get up, when my mom starting yelling up the stairs for my sister and I to come down and watch the news. She said that the Twin Towers had just been hit by airplanes. At first, I remember thinking "What are the Twin Towers?" But then I remembered, and dashed down the stairs to watch the TV. I watched for about a half hour before I had to go to school, but my sister, whose school started later than mine, watched one of the towers fall on live television. *shudder*

God, you all were youngins! I was in my undergrad program and it was my first semester back after a year break. My parents were supposed to fly to Italy for my cousin's wedding later that morning and I was going to come home after class and take them to the airport. I was in Italian class and I had been wondering the whole way into school (6:30 am MST) why there were so few people out. Some guy walked into class and said, "Shouldn't we turn on the TV?" I thought, weird, because no one ever did that, but whatever. We had some time before class started. And then there it was. That's what I get for not listening to the radio on the way to school and rocking out to my CDs instead. I've never done that again.
My teacher turned off the TV when she came in and actually tried to teach us how to conjugate some verbs, I have no idea why, none of us were listening. She also told us that everyone in the world hates us and didn't understand why we were all so shocked by what was going on. (She's from Italy) I've never forgiven myself for not saying anything to her about that, couldn't she see that we were all clearly in shock? Didn't she have any sympathy for us, for the people who died, for the country she now called home?When we turned the TV back on, there was only one tower left standing.
I went home, and I remember sitting on the light rail staring at Denver's skyline thinking that if I was in New York there would be huge columns of smoke rising into the blue sky. Denver looked normal but it didn't feel normal. No one was talking on the light rail, no one was speeding on the highway. As I drove from the lightrail station down highway, there was this light up billboard at a car dealership that always had different messages. It would say things like "Go Broncos!" on game day or whatever. That day it said, "Pray for our country"
What I didn't expect was how quiet it was without the airplanes overhead. I never knew how much I'd grown accustomed to that sound. I went home, wrote in my journal very briefly, and then curled up in a ball and went to sleep. I didn't find out until much later that my reaction, my curled up in a ball sleeping reaction, was the exact same reaction very young children have when they can't deal with something.

Anyway, as always I've said more than anyone wanted to know. And to bring this a little bit back to TV related things, Jon Stewart's post 9/11 speech was phenominal. He was actually in tears. I teared up seeing it. You can find it on YouTube, or at least it was there about a month ago.

Wow.


Well I guess I'll say where I was too: Senior in high school sitting in US Government class watching the whole thing on TV (after the initial attack). Needless to say my parents no longer wanted me to go off to NYU for college the next year. (But I didn't get accepted there anyway.)

Oh yeah, I saw that a few days ago... I was about a hair away from bawling.

beautiful speech. very sincere.
