Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. When did the show first air?

Answer: September 13, 1993

I made up November 22, 1992. October 28, 1988 is my birthday, and April 18 is Conan's birthday, but not in 1991. The actual year for his birthday is 1963.

2. What is the first bandleader's name?

Answer: Max Weinberg

Max is the drummer for Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band when he's not with the Max Weinberg Seven.

3. Who was Conan's sidekick for the first 7 years?

Answer: Andy Richter

Andy left in 2000, but he visits once in a while.

4. Who is the creepy, yet happy-looking announcer?

Answer: Joel Goddard

They always make fun of poor Joel. Bob Costas does sports stuff, Ed Hall was the announcer for Jay Leno, and Ed McMahon was the announcer/sidekick for the late, great Johnny Carson.

5. Which member of the band is often the brunt of homosexual jokes?

Answer: La Bamba

Poor La Bamba! Conan's recieved letters telling him to back off of La Bamba. La Bamba is not gay, and he even has 6 kids and a wife.

6. What does Conan often call his monologue?

Answer: The "Laugh Zone"

He usually calls it the "Laugh Zone" in a joking manner. "Comedy Central" is a cable channel, I made up the "Hilarilogue", and the "Con-zone" is the actual space around Conan himself.

7. What is the studio named where "Late Night" is taped?

Answer: 6A

8H is where "Saturday Night Live" is. Conan used to write for "SNL", as well as "The Simpsons".

8. What comedy bit usually involves a member of the audience?

Answer: The Desk Drive

Andy used to be the passenger at the desk, but now Conan randomly picks an audience member to come down.

9. Who hosted the show before Conan O'Brien?

Answer: David Letterman

Letterman did indeed host "Late Night" before moving to CBS to do the "Late Show".

10. Jerry and Jimmy of the Max Weinberg 7 are brothers.

Answer: True

They look a lot alike. Jimmy plays guitar for the 7, Jerry plays saxophone most of the time.
