Conan O’Brien leaves no room for doubt about Stephen Colbert
Conan O’Brien has declared that late-night TV is fading but praised Stephen Colbert as “too talented and too essential to go away.”
For the unversed, the 62-year-old American television host and comedian received one of this year’s top Television Academy honours.
Articulating his thoughts at the Academy Hall of Fame on Saturday, August 16, O’Brien claimed the award came at a strange time because “there’s a lot of fear about the future of television, and rightfully so. The life we’ve all known for almost 80 years is undergoing seismic change.”
He went on to share with the audience at the J.W. Marriot Hotel in downtown’s LA Live district, saying, “This might just be my nature. I choose not to mourn what is lost, because I think in the most essential way, what we have is not changing at all. Streaming changes the pipeline, but the connection, the talent, the ideas that come into our homes… I think it’s the focus. We have proof here tonight.”
The Now You See Me star also reflected on the success of recent series Hacks, I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson, and Abbott Elementary, noting Hollywood still has creative opportunities.
“It’s all electrifying a new generation of viewers. Yes, late-night television, as we have known it since around 1950, is going to disappear. But those voices are not going anywhere. People like Stephen Colbert are too talented and too essential to go away,” O’Brien stated.
Earl Charles Spencer quietly marked the anniversary of Princess Diana’s death as he dropped a heartfelt tribute for his late sister on Instagram.
Under his emotional post featuring “beautiful flowers, left yesterday by Althorp’s visitors,” fans and followers of the former Princess of Wales also shared heartfelt memories and tributes.
Many commenters praised Diana as “the people’s princess” and expressed how deeply she is still missed.
“Beautiful flowers, left yesterday by Althorp’s visitors,” he penned. “We are open for July and August each year, by an arrangement reached with the UK Government in 1992.”
“Strange to think that that summer season is bookended by 1 July – Diana’s birthday – and 31 August – the day she died,” he added.
“My deepest thanks go to the @althorphouse team, who were truly outstanding again this summer – treating visitors as honoured guests of my family. Sarah P led them with quiet charm and an excellent natural feel for what matters.
One fan wrote, “She will live in our hearts forever.”
Another added, “Diana will never be forgotten. She really was the people’s princess. I cannot imagine how hard this day is for you and her beloved boys.”
Previously, while speaking on Good Morning Britain last year, Charles talked of coping with Diana’s tragic death.
“I’m sure pretty much everyone watching this program has had trauma in their family at some point,” he said. “And, like everyone else, you sort of get used to it without it ever going away.”
