From Entertainment Weekly:
The Internet is a-buzz with support for Conan O’Brien, but there seems to be one image that’s the beating heart of the entire campaign. LA-based designer Mike Mitchell’s “I’m with Coco” poster has reached levels of ubiquity we haven’t seen since Shepard Fairey took on Obama. EW caught up with Mitchell, 27, to ask him about designing a movement.
“I’m a huge Conan fan,” Mitchell says. “I went to one of the first test shows [for The Tonight Show] here in LA, and I’ve been a big fan for a long time.” Of the late-night debacle at NBC, he adds: “The whole thing’s just a crappy situation.”
…You can join the rapidly-growing I’m With Coco Facebook fan page here, and, of course, watch The Tonight Show tonight.
I applaud Conan’s stand here. He doesn’t deserve to be punished for how just how badly Jay Leno sucks. The guy’s debut was immediately overshadowed by Leno’s primetime snoozefest, and this attempt by the network to make everybody equally unhappy just digs the hole deeper.
Good luck, Conan. Wherever you end up, I imagine I’ll watch there.
