This guy has always made me laugh as I find him smart, witty and an overall nice guy. I here NBC is thinking about getting out of his deal to take over The Tonight Show in 2009 after Jay Leno leaves because that's the year John Stewert's contract is up at the Daily Show.
I hope it's not true, but Conan will land somewhere else.
Vanity Fair sat down with him and dicussed how he landed as a writer on The Simpsons.
One thing that I thought was funny was Conan never wroate a show like the Simpson's before. He only wrote sketches for Saturday Night Live.
Here's what he said:
I'd never written in that form before. I'd only written sketches, and I'd done a pilot with Robert Smigel, Lookwell. I told them, "Look, I've never written a Simpsons episode, I've never really written a sitcom script." But I had a good reputation at that point, so on the strength of that they just said, "Well, come on."
How lucky was he.
