Conan O'Brien and some moving type

When Conan O'Brien signed off from NBC last year, after a very public and I would imagine quite humiliating ordeal brought on when the network sided with Jay Leno, I was struck by how well O'Brien stuck to the high road in his remarks. (Particularly since, as anyone would have suspected, O'Brien was seething with emotion.) 

The video below takes the audio of what O'Brien said, and animates it with what's called kinetic typography. It's fascinating all over again.

A tip to Conan O'Brien

I came across the opening to the Emmy Awards from a season and a half back, and Conan O'Brien's wicked opening with multiple parodies, including Lost, The Office, House, 24 and more. It holds up to at least one more look ... and a sniff of burnt cheese.
