Conan O'Brien

Conan O’Brien is a comedian, writer, producer, and television host known for his innovative approach to late-night television. Conan grew up in a family that valued education and creativity. He attended Harvard University, where he honed his comedic and writing skills as the president of the prestigious humor publication The Harvard Lampoon. This early experience in comedy set the stage for a groundbreaking career in entertainment.

Conan began his professional journey in television writing, contributing to iconic shows like "Saturday Night Live" and "The Simpsons." His work on SNL earned him an Emmy Award, and his contributions to "The Simpsons" helped shape some of the show's most loved episodes. In 1993, Conan replaced David Letterman as the host of "Late Night" on NBC. Despite initial skepticism, he quickly captivated audiences with his self-deprecating humor, quirky sketches, and boundary-pushing comedy.

In 2009, Conan took over "The Tonight Show" before parting ways with NBC. He then launched "Conan" on TBS in 2010, where he continued to redefine late-night television with his global remote segments, celebrity interviews, and inventive comedy. In 2018, Conan moved into podcasting with "Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend" and has since made a significant impact with its engaging and humorous conversations with a wide range of guests. In 2021, Conan concluded his late-night television career with the end of "Conan" after an 11-year run.

Conan then starred in his travel series "Conan O’Brien Must Go" on Max in 2024 and also made appearances on "Saturday Night Live" and the interview show "Hot Ones." In addition to his ongoing work in entertainment, Conan is set to host the 97th Academy Awards and was selected by The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts to receive the 26th Mark Twain Prize for American Humor. With a career that spans decades, O’Brien continues to influence the comedy landscape.
