Conan

I remember watching Late Night with Conan O’brian with my brother Andy, hearing about the “Horny Manatee” character. I remembered this because earlier today I was searching for how Jay Leno did on his first night back. Somehow I remembered the Horny Manatee, and remembered Conan made a website for it. NBC had bought the web address for the Horny Manatee because of regulations set up by the Federal Communications Commisions for a total of $154 after the taping of Conan’s show on 12/4/06 (New York Times). I typed the address—www.hornymanatee.com— into the address bar of safari, and it brought me to NBC’s website. I don’t know if the site shut down when Conan moved to the Tonight Show, or if it shut down when he left. I don’t even know who else has wrote about this. Either way, a sad reminder that Conan left.                       R.I.P.
