I know, I know, we should probably just let it go and move on. But I've read so many comments on other sites from people saying it was the perfect ending to the series and that all the important questions were answered.

So maybe this will refresh your memory of those few simple ones that are still unanswered.

Carlton & Cuse, you two are dirty birds.

Take that damn tornado warning off my TV now!

As the world waits for the Lost final tonight (and I hear many countries are airing it live at the same time as the West Coast broadcast), I'm filled with a mixture of excitement and disappointment, because most TV finales always leave me wanting. Cheers, Seinfeld, Friends, Star Trek.TNG, Quantum Leap - none of them really captured "The End" as I wanted to see it.

In fact the only TV finale I think I ever watched that gave me a supreme sense of satisfaction was that of the BBC's version of The Office (and anyone who saw that will know what I mean).

So - what, in your opinion, are the better final episodes from TV history?

What was Conan O'Brien thinking during his recent 60 Minutes interview?

This inner monologue from FunnyOrDie gives us some idea.

Here's a touching story about Andy Mackie. A man who should have died 11 years ago and instead, has used that time to turn a town in North West Washington State into a fiddle playing, guitar strumming, harmonica blowing musical enclave.

We've had quite a few stories concerning the state of late night television. It's been too fun to ignore.

In anticipation for Conan's 60 Minutes interview this Sunday, we bring you a blast from television's past. The opening from the very first Late Night with Conan O'Brien.

It actually is pretty classic television. Conan leaves his (real) apartment and walks to his new gig. Friendly New Yorkers berate him with pressure to be as funny as his legendary predecessor David Letterman. With a classic, black comedy ending.

Unfortunately, I can't embed it for you. So just click here to see the magic.

Our (Echowood and myself) former amazing boss David Letterman took another swipe at Jay Leno last night. A solid right cross to the kisser. Wait, make that solid right cross to the tugboat hull of a chin.

Sort-of-a-Dr. Phil was the guest. When he brought up the Great Late Night Debacle of 2009, Dave just couldn't help himself.

Once again, Dave sides with Team Coco. Roll the clip...

It's been said once or twice ... or upwards of 500 times on this blog that I worked at the Late Show for four years in the early 2000's. Seeing as this looks like another incredibly slow day here at YesButNoButYes, I thought I'd open up my photo albums and give you a peek into the world behind the show. (It isn't that glamorous, and there are no photos of movie stars or certain television personalities who roamed the halls.)

(Author's note: While the photo above does depict Mohammed dressed up as a cute bear mascot as was shown on last week's episode of South Park, we at YesButNoButYes are using it in no way to insult or defame Mohammed. We enjoy out heads too much to create that kind of stir. So we'll just keep making fun of other religions that only threaten litigation when you make fun of their prophets. You're welcome.)

According to this article from CNN.com, Trey Parker and Matt Stone have something coming to them. The radical Islamic Web site ("radical" meaning extreme and potentially dangerous, not "awesome" or "tubular" or "gnarly") Revolutionmuslim.com - the same site that supported a jihad against the West and praised Osama Bin Laden - issued a statement about the creators of South Park. In it, they criticized Stone and Parker for airing the episode which featured Mohammed in said bear costume and warned of violent actions against them.

Call it what you will, but I'm crossing the folks at Revolutionmusliim.com off my Arbor Day card recipient list. That kind of threat, along with posting Parker and Stone's addresses as well as a taped sermon encouraging violence against all who defame Mohammed, just proves that the world would be a better place if everyone listened to a little John Denver ... and chilled the fuck out.

Conan O'Brien and Team Coco opened their comedy tour last night in Oregon. He began with his rendition of the Gloria Gaynor classic.

Conan O'Brien is out taking the show on the road to fill up time and drum up support while his non-compete contract with NBC plays out. Then what? Looks like Ted Turner made him an offer he can't refuse.

According to a press release sent out by the cable network (which, like CNN, is a unit of Time Warner), the comedian is joining TBS to host a late-night show that is expected to debut in November. O'Brien's show will be followed on TBS' schedule by George Lopez's "Lopez Tonight," which will move to midnight.

Mark your calendars.

Government Cut is a deep water channel in Miami, Florida. Flanked on both sides by a fang of rocks jutting out into the blue waters of the Atlantic Ocean. Because it's so deep, it's used by freighters and cruise ships as their main point of entry and exit out of the Port of Miami. To say that it has wildly varying currents would be an understatement. A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of taking a jet ski out of Government Cut and into the ocean. With heavy winds howling out of the east, and water temperatures in the mid-60º F range, conditions were less than favorable. I realized this as my ski was airborne half-way out of the channel. Facing waves so tall, I couldn't see land while in their troughs and I began to sweat. I've been riding personal watercraft for years, but it was becoming quickly obvious that I was firmly in the deep end of the pool ... oh, and there was a cruise ship coming. Falling into the water, the currents would smash me against the rocks on Government Cut. Waiting too long in the channel and the cruise ship's wake would send me into the rocks. But I didn't have the knowledge of how best to drive my ski through the conditions.

I've known Jas Grocholski since college. He's a tall, blonde haired guy who is built like a rock. Despite his intimidating presence, he's friendly, he's fun, and he can get you out of trouble in a hurry. And as I sat on that jetski trying to figure out my best course of action in a quickly diminishing timeline, Jas appeared on his jet ski at the top of a wave and screamed "Follow Me." Quickly navigating the crashing waves, he safely led me out of the channel and into calmer waters. And that's the thing about Jas - no matter what sort of situation you're in, you know you'll get out of it in one piece with him around.

Jas is also a member of the Miami-Dade Fire Rescue Marine Division. That same division is featured on CMT's new show "Danger Coast" as part of their awesome Adventure Country line-up of shows. (That's Jas to the left in the Danger Coast logo above) So here's what you need to do. Tonight, get in front of those TVs and see just how badass Jas and his co-workers are.

Like television themes? Like extended medleys? Like creatively edited doppelgängers playing keyboards and guitars? Freddie has created this video for you ... and your mom.

Strap on the nitro, because this shit just got real. I need you to follow me on this one. A lot of it won't make sense. You may feel queasy. Calling out to whichever savior you pray to won't help. But we'll get through this together. Read the following statement. Let it sink in.

James Lipton wrote the theme to Thundercats.

This guy, better known as "Warden Stefan Gentles" on Arrested Development and, I suppose, some show about acting involving actors talking about acting in front of other actors, wrote the theme to Thundercats! If, for some reason, this turns out to be a hoax, then it is the greatest hoax in the history of the internet. (However, IMDb, Wikipedia, and a few other sources corroborate the accuracy of this information)

An interesting theory was proposed on the Daily Show last night concerning the politics in Washington.
Perhaps no one in Congress or Politics is really interested in resolution or ending issues, what they like is conflict. Conflict keeps the money going, conflict keeps the base energized.

The same can be said for Pro Wrestling. Heels or Baby faces. It doesn't matter, so long as the base or the audience keeps paying attention.

Pro Wrestling. Politics. The Daily Show. Come one, you knew we had to share this one.
