Does Rosiario Dawson Know Something That Conan O'Brien Doesn't?



Actually, we love Rosario Dawson. She is authentic -- very Lower East Side, in the best way possible -- and she gives great interviews (her mom licks her as a disciplinary measure). Most celebrities, by contrast, will never reveal anything. And if they do it is carefully calculated and crafted in a committee of manager and agent to be minuscule, enough to get the audience to laugh and no more, like on the late night talk shows. And speaking of the late shows: Does Rosario Dawson Know Something That Conan O'Brien Doesn't? From BlackBookmag:

"BlackBookMag: As a New Yorker who lives in L.A., what advice can you give to somebody like Conan O Brien, who’s about to make that step?

"Rosario Dawson: I’m actually so sad that he’s without a show right now, because I think he’s so amazing, and what I’ve really admired in him is that he’s always stuck to his guns.

"BlackBookMag: But he’s moving to the Tonight Show now, taking over Jay Leno’s spot in L.A.

"Ro Dawson: Supposedly Jay Leno isn’t giving up his spot.

"BlackBookMag: Jay Leno’s moving to 10, and Conan is going to 11:30. They’re making a time slow for Jay Leno.

"Rosario Dawson: While I was working, I was just watching and they were saying that he’s not giving up the spot. Well, I think it’s going to be really interesting."


Someone hasn't been reading their Variety. Are we the only ones that find the fact that Rosario Dawson is a little bit confused about the succession a breath of fresh air in an industry of narcissistic navel-gazers?
