What did Conan OBrien say about Lisa Kudrow?

Conan is the longest-tenured host in late-night television being on the air for nearly 30 years and over 4,000 hours of television. During his final curtain call, Conan gave a special shout-out to his longtime pal Lisa Kudrow. He thanked Lisa claiming that she, had more faith in me than I did. You wouldnt know me if it wasnt for Lisa Kudrow.  The 58-year-old explained that he wouldn't have joined late-night television if it hadn't been for the encouragement of his fellow comedian. Conan and Lisa once dated before the two reached stardom but quickly realized that they were "better as friends," Lisa once explained. While Conan credits Lisa with encouraging him to do late-night, Lisa credits her former improv comedy classmate with pushing her to continue on with comedy and pursue acting. She recounts that, "he was really smart, really funny, and he thought I was funny." During his final farewell, Conan reflected on his nearly 30 year late-night career, I have devoted all of my adult life to pursuing this strange phantom intersection between smart and stupid." "Theres a lot of people that believe the two cannot coexist. But God, I will tell you that it is something that I believe religiously, when smart and stupid come together, its very difficult, but if you could make it happen, I think its the most beautiful thing in the world."
