Late Night with Conan O'Brien

2007 EMMY WINNER!
Outstanding Writing For A Variety, Music or Comedy Program
Late Night with Conan O’Brien began its 15th season on August 27, 2007. 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).
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.
Late Night offers viewers an eclectic and entertaining mix of provocative guests. Like other talk shows, Late Night books A-list guests who chat up their latest blockbuster movie, hit television show, or other projects, but the difference rests with O’Brien’s improvisational style.
Late Night has experienced phenomenal success on the road during past trips to Los Angeles, Toronto, Chicago, and San Francisco. What’s more, Late Night is also willing to bend the traditional talk show format, with past episodes including an entire episode in clay animation, an episode with an all-children audience, an all-skeleton Halloween episode, and Conan’s much-talked about episode chronicling his trip to Finland to meet the country’s president (and his dead ringer look-alike), Tarja Halonen.
Lorne Michaels (Creator and Executive Producer of Saturday Night Live) and Jeff Ross are the Executive Producers of Late Night with Conan O’Brien. Allan Kartun directs, and the writing staff is led by Head Writer Mike Sweeney.
Late Night airs weeknights at 12:35AM/11:35C on NBC. Visit the official Late Night with Conan O'Brien website at nbc.com/conan .
