Conan O'Brien
Host of Late Night With Conan O'Brien
When he was named host of Late Night on April 26, 1993, Conan O'Brien was relatively unknown outside the circle of television comedy writers. Much has changed over the course of three-plus years and six hundred telecasts. Praised by fans and critics alike for its offbeat sketches and alternative music guests, Late Night is an unqualified success. And according to Entertainment Weekly, "the lion's share of credit goes to O'Brien himself."
Before stepping in front of the cameras as host of Late Night, O'Brien was a writer/producer and eventual supervising producer for the Fox series The Simpsons. Between 1991 and 1993 he created some of the show's most popular episodes, including his personal favorite, "The Monorail." O'Brien had previously been a writer on Saturday Night Live from 1988 to 1991, the period that produced such popular recurring sketches as "Mr. Short-Term Memory" and "The Girl Watchers" (first performed by Tom Hanks and Jon Lovitz). In 1989, O'Brien and the other Saturday Night Live writers won the Emmy Award for Outstanding Writing in a comedy or Variety Series.
In his unique lecture presentation offered exclusively through GTN, O'Brien takes audiences on a rare behind-the-scenes tour of the show. From popular sketches to the most captivating celebrity interviews to the memorable moments you didn't get a chance to see, Conan is sure to delight audiences with his characteristic wit, energy and charm.
