My Favorite Talk Show Host....

is Conan O'Brien.  I don't watch him.  I probably haven't seen a total of 30 minutes of any of his shows.  But here is why, from the Commencement Address that he delivered at Dartmouth College this year.  President George H.W. Bush (41st President of the United States), was seated behind him on the dais:

Before I begin, I must point out that behind me sits a highly admired president of the United States and a decorated war hero while I, a cable television talk show host, have been chosen to stand here and impart wisdom.  I pray I never witness a more damning example of what is wrong with America today.

I can't add to that.  The Weekly Standard (H/T) doesn't even try.
