Show Description:

Referred to as "the most cunning talk show around" by Entertainment Weekly, Late Night with Conan O'Brien began its 14th season on August 29, 2006. In addition to dominating the ratings in its time period, every aspect of Late Night has been praised by the media, from Conan himself ("modest, wry, self-effacing, and demonstrably the most intelligent of the late-night comics," said The Washington Post) to the show's comedy ("original and often breathtakingly silly," according to the New York Daily News) to The Max Weinberg 7 ("the best band in late-night TV," said The Washington Post). Recently, Esquire listed the "50 Reasons It's Good To Be An American Man," and "the first 18 minutes of Conan O'Brien" ranked #7 (just behind the Wonderbra). Since its debut in 1993, Late Night has attracted fans with its innovative comedy, including the sketches "In the Year 2000," "If They Mated," and "Clutch Cargo" (in which photos of various politicians and celebrities appear with someone else's lips and voice doing the talking). Over the years, many other recurring comedy bits and characters including "Triumph the Insult Comic Dog," "Pimpbot 5000," and "The Masturbating Bear" have gained loyal followings.
