This is my generation's 'Tonight Show'

Why do I suddenly feel like an adult? A case could be made that while I still rely quite heavily on my extremely gracious parents, I have plenty of reasons to feel like one.I voted in a presidential election last year, I'm a little over a month away from being able to buy alcohol, and I'm not too far off from graduating.But adulthood, or at least a conscious awareness of it, didn't click for me until Monday night when I saw Conan O'Brien become the host of "The Tonight Show."My sense of humor, the things myself and many more in my generation find funny, just got kicked a little closer to the mainstream.Jokes that might require a little bit of discomfort or silliness might no longer be relegated to cable or late-night hours, after my parents have gone to bed.This is my "Tonight Show."The absence of Conan between his last "Late Night" episode in February and his return to television on Monday made me realize how under-represented my comedic sensibilities were when it came to nightly talk shows and how glad I am to have him back.An odd feeling came with watching Conan's first episode the other night.
