Conan O'Brien

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).
