An article in Newsday a few days ago about the many people being considered
to take over Late Night from David Letterman (Garry Shandling is the most
likely candidate) mentioned Conan O'Brien, "a producer on 'The Simpsons.'"
Who is he? I haven't seen his name in the credits. I wonder if this is
Conan C. O'Brien, the President of the Harvard Lampoon in 1985?

Ralph Nader"Consumer Activist": You're mad, Kutt, and a recent study proved it!
Co-Co "Legal Aid Chimp": orgle, urp

- Conan C. O'Brien, "Nader's Raiders of the Lost Ark."

According to the Today show, it is the same, er, Conan, and he DOES now
officially have the job. He'll be the new host of "Late Night" come summer.
