The Diary of Conan O’Brien

My favorite late-night talk show, the one, the only – the best – Mr. Conan O’Brien has authored a hilarious cover story for the new issue Entertainment Weekly.

Inspired by his experiences surviving the nearly three-month-old writers strike, this the true-to-life survival guide of a very brave man.

Here’s a choice sample:

“DAY 5
With no sign on the horizon of fresh scripted television, I decide to read a book. The first few pages go well, but I can’t help wondering if Meredith and McDreamy will ever work things out. They’re so right for each other and yet so wrong. I burn the book for warmth.”

Oh, strike, what have you done?

Not only has O’Brien grown a mighty fine beard in your name, but he’s had to find comfort in the company of a cute chimp, and gorged himself on marathons of Flavor of Love.

End soon, strike.
