When I was first approached about an album of Late Night’s best musical performances, I was thrilled. The concept seemed brilliant. It was only later, when they told me that I wouldn’t actually be singing the songs, that I lost all interest in the project. Crushed, I turned to cheap wine and let my staff work out the details. I hope you enjoy their efforts. Frankly, I think we missed a golden opportunity.
– Conan O’Brien
