Most are still coming to terms with the loss of David Bowie at 69. There has been an outpouring of tributes and memories shared online today, painting a picture of a loss that’s truly great. The memorial continues into late night as Conan takes a moment on his show to look back on some of the great moments he shared with Bowie during his time on Late Night.
You really get a sense that Bowie was a fun guy to have a chat with and seemed open to go along with almost anything that was put in front of him during an appearance. Andy Richter shared a similar sentiment last night, shortly after Bowie’s death was confirmed.
I've only listened to David Bowie's new album once since I got it yesterday, and it is wonderful. Buy it. He really is a hero.

He was also funny and kind. I feel lucky to get to say that from personal experience. I feel so sad, but mostly lucky. We all should.

There is a little bit missing from the look back, but I can understand the difficulty in getting access to everything across network lines. One of my favorites was when Bowie appeared on the recurring Secrets segment, talking a bit about the things we likely all knew were true and didn’t want to acknowledge. There’s just a wealth of different entertaining things that Bowie had a hand in over the years. Even indirectly, he was this fun deity of pop culture that could boost up any movie or TV show.
