A friend of mine came up with a joke that would have been great for Conan's monologue following Billy's death. It goes like so, "Ed McMahon, Michael Jackson, and Farrah Fawcett. Bad things come in threes... Leave it to Billy Mays to toss in one more for free, though."But then again, I think the reason Conan didn't say anything is because when he talks about something he has to make a joke of it. He understands that he is just an entertainer and to try and honor Billy Mays on his show would betray the spirit of his show and worse yet, be disrespectful to a great person.
