"I SAID NEE-HA!"
The Unofficial Late Night With Conan O'Brien Newsletter #12/14-003
Hi all. I'd like to start off by welcoming the new subscribers to the third issue of "I SAID NEE-HA!" Well, what a week! I'm amazed I've managed to get the third issue out on time. I'm fresh from a major krunker of a computer catastrophe. I went through three hard drives in a week!!! I don't want to get all technical on you, mainly because I can't, thus proving that I'm not really the goddess of Geekville or something like that. Like the song says, 'I get knocked down, but I get up again, you ain't ever gonna keep me down...' so I'm back and running for now Happy Dole :-)
I'd also like to welcome two new (hopefully) regular writers. Dizza, who is one of the Official Late Night Addicts on AOL read her 'Dear Dizza' column in every issue. If you're Horny in Houston or Sleepless in Seattle, then Dizza will solve your Late Night Related dilemmas. Also, please welcome Micah Honees, a real live person with a real live fake name who wrote 'This Space For Rent'. I think this guy has a crush on Stacy. Judge for yourself when you check out his column.
This week I have another transcription for you. Conan's appearance on VIP, a talk show on NBC Europe. He was interviewed by them in a city called Aftershaven during his trip to Germany.
If you think you'd like to write something for the newsletter, but you are all out of ideas. Mail me and ask for the MOST WANTED list, it's full of ideas and it might just help us both out.
It's always great to see some new shows after a week of repeats. I was soooo excited on Tuesday when he (Conan) ran out, did the monologue and introduced the guests. A new show! Hey, and the studio is all decked out for Christmas. Very nice. There's nothing like fake snow and asbestos to say 'Christmas is close!' It made my day. How was it for you? Oh, and Thursday's show! It was so funny I almost barfed!?!

DEAR DIZZA
Allow me to introduce our new resident problem solver. Dear Dizza is recognized and accepted as a somewhat skilled counsellor for Late Night Addiction. Her experience includes, but is not limited to, weeks of intense education and training in coping with the devastating but fun effects of Late Night Addiction, which she herself openly admits to having.
Her advice is sought out by thousands (well, at least sixteen people anyway, but potentially it's thousands) and she welcomes your pathetic cries for help as she "leads you down the Conaningly-crazed path to a happier-yet wackier future!"
*******************************************
Dear Dizza,
I have a bumper sticker on my car that says, "I brake for Ostriches." Is there something wrong with me???
Late Night Lesley
Dear Late Night Lesley,
You have what we trained professionals refer to as "TOMORRYITUS SYNDROME." I hope it helps you to know that I too have been diagnosed with the same condition. In my case I feel a compelling urge at least once or twice a week to run into my kitchen, crack a large egg in a bowl and then begin to search for a list of upcoming Late Night guests!
Lesley, there is absolutely nothing wrong with you. A fast growing number of people are afflicted with TOMORRYITUS SYNDROME and can still lead an active, Conaningly-crazed life.
*****************************************
Dear Dizza,
My boyfriend caught me making his Christmas present and he's not talking to me. I was using fabric paints to draw Conan characters on some fabulous, expensive designer underwear. I thought it would be cute and fun, but he just doesn't get it. What's up with him?
Bewildered in Brookline
Dear Bewildered,
Wave adios to that boyfriend of yours and go make a fortune with your Conantastically brilliant idea to create Conan characters underwear!!! And could you please let me know when I can place an order?
******************************************
Dear Dizza,
There is a really cute girl at my school and I'd like to get to know her better, if you know what I mean. She's like, totally H.O.T.T. Hot! And I know she is a Conan fan because I saw her wearing a baseball hat with the logo on it. If she's got a crush on the big red one, how can I get her to notice me?
Invisible in Indiana
Dear Invisible,
You won't be invisible any longer if you copy your moves from the great Conando himself. First, make eye contact with her. When she sees you, follow Conan's steps:
1. Lick the pointer finger of each hand.
2. Smear each eyebrow with your saliva.
3. Make a "gun" with each hand and shoot at her, one "gun" at a time.
(Make sure to practice steps 1 - 3 thoroughly until it becomes one smooth movement.)
4. Follow this by walking over to her and sticking your face very close to her face.
5. Growl: "GRRRRRRRRRRRR!"
6. Say, "Hi there! How about you and me taking my desk for a drive?"
7. Quickly follow this question by giving her a "thumbs up" sign, making sure to bring your thumb close to your face and give her a great big SMILE!
8. Now freeze in that position.
It's important to remain in that frozen position until she either tells you she is wildly attracted to you or she starts to run away, screaming in horror.
Please let me know how you do!
*******************************************
Dear Dizza,
Quite often I go skiing and I wear a red outfit. After I broke my leg in the first week of Ski season my friends started calling me 'Loser at the Ski Slopes' and it's really annoying the hell out of me. How can I make them stop?
Marc, Aspen, Colorado
Dear Marc,
It seems to me, it's your attitude that needs changing. Why be annoyed to be known as Loser at the Ski Slopes? Use your new found title for all it's worth!
1. Put that title on your ski outfit.
2. Carry hard boiled eggs with you and hand them out to everyone you see.
3. Pretend to lick the pole on your ski lift to give the effect of getting your tongue frozen!
4. Have a friend dress up in a bear suit and follow you around "mauling you."
Enjoy your popularity!
*******************************************
If you think you have a problem don't write to me. What the hell do I know? You can write to Dizza and she will do her best to solve it for you. Remember this service it totally free of charge. It's a bargain! And it's Conetastic. Write to: Dizza@aol.com

INTERACTIVE QUESTION OF THE WEEK
Stacy is the new champion of champions, the angel on at the top of our Late Night Christmas tree. She beat PimpBot 5000 with an overwhelming 82 percent of all the votes. I'm not sure whether or not that most of the voters were female and empathise with her. Whaddaya think?
This week our reigning champion versus one of Late Night's most unfortunately titled characters. He's a prolific character on Late Night, and with him he always brings a smile, a laugh, a couple of hard boiled eggs and a big brown bear. Whether he's catching a tan at the beach or he's getting his tongue stuck to the frost on a ski-lift, it doesn't matter where this guy is @ he's the loser. Will he also be the 'loser' in out NEE-HA! Poll? You decide.
STACY versus LOSER @
Vote for your favorite character by putting their name in the subject heading and Emailing (before Friday 19 December) to: LateNightPoll@hotmail.com

IN THE YEAR 2000..
CONAN
"After too many years of non-stop rampages El Nino decides to check himself into the Betty Ford Clinic. Three months later, he emerges as the eleventh husband of Elizabeth Taylor."
ANDY
"Man will devolve back into apes, while apes will evolve into man. Women will not be affected.
CONAN
"A bitter Richard Gere will turn his back on Buddhism after his former friend, the Dalai Lama beats him out for the lead in American Gigolo 2."
ANDY
"The planets Jupiter, Mars and Neptune will suddenly stop spinning when they realise they can get just as strong a head rush sniffing glue."
CONAN
"God will schedule a press conference to announce the firing of Jesus and the hiring of Jet's coach Bill Parcell."
ANDY
"Movo introduces it's safest automobile yet. Upon impact, Anna Nicole Smith springs up from underneath the dashboard, pushes her breasts in your face and squeals, 'I love you daddy.'"
CONAN
"After a combined 134 years in broadcasting Mike Wallace, Morely Safer and Andy Rooney will finally leave 60 Minutes - to join the Rolling Stones."
ANDY
"Zoologists will finally figure out why pandas in captivity refuse to mate. They're holding out for a three-way."
CONAN
"Television talk shows will become so hilarious that people stop watching them for fear of literally dying of laughter. At least, that's the excuse I'm planning for piss-poor ratings."
ANDY
"A new monument in Washington is dedicated to former President Clinton. It will be identical to the Washington Monument, except for one striking difference, an unusual bend in the middle."
CONAN
"America realises that Jenny McCarthy is more than a big-breasted blonde with goofy facial expressions and finally begins to appreciate her dynamite ass."
*******************************************
LIVE AT 6A
I live in Harrisburg, PA so I had to ride the train into N.Y.C. to see the show. I went with my best friend and my mother this past summer, specifically the August 14th show. The guests that evening were Rosie Perez, Michael Rapaport, and musical guest, Wilco.
When we first arrived at NBC, we had to stand in line for a looooooong time and then endure a lot of security measures, but it's all for the safety of Conan and Andy! When we finally got into the studio, they had loud music playing and the warm-up guy came out to get the audience excited. Then they introduced Max and the band and then finally Conan! Conan then introduced Andy. For me, the pre-show ritual was almost more exciting than the actual taping of the show! Conan is at his best before the show!
The show we saw was a very good one! Rosie was especially entertaining when she got Conan to disco dance, which was a first for the show. The comedy bits, which included a visit from Joel, the depressed announcer, were very good as well.
To cap it all off, after the show was over, my friend and I asked a cue card guy if we could have a card to take home and he let us. So we each have a special souvenir to remember the show! Overall, it was a wonderful time and I encourage all who love the show to attend a taping, if at all possible!! Thanks for letting me share my Conan story with you!

THIS SPACE FOR RENT by Micah Honees
Have you ever read "Diantetics"? Me, neither but I'll bet that L. Ron Hubbard has more than a few chapters in there about confidence.
Recently (not really, but for this column's sake ride along with me), I was watching a tape of some of Conan's earliest shows. I was a big big Dave fan and wasn't really into seeing someone else on NBC at 12:30. I thought Dave was a god. So then here comes this new guy. Good pedigree and all (I looove The Simpsons) but how would he handle all of this pressure? Everyone in the media was begging this guy to fail. And what's the deal with his name?
Anyway, when you look back on the first season of Late Night with Conan O'Brien, the first thing even his most ardent fans think is: "Yeesh." Those were 52 really difficult weeks. Sure, there were flashes here and there but they were hard to come by. What kept them going--and the viewers tuning in after that initial "train wreck" phase--was the likability of Conan and Andy. These guys were sure as heck trying hard even though nothing they threw was sticking to the wall.
That's where the confidence comes in (you thought I forgot). Now, seasoned-veterans that they are, Conan, Andy, Max, and the rest aren't afraid to mess up. In fact, one of the greatest charms about Late Night is the fun they poke at themselves. Conan freely admits the first year sucked (as he admitted to "Buffalo" when shooting that hilarious Houston remote) and Andy often centers the humor on himself; whether it's his college tour, alleged alcoholism, or lack of star power. These are a couple of dudes you wouldn't mind hanging out with, even if they are talking to someone you couldn't give a crap about. You just know in the end it'll be funny.
The characters rule as well. The whole Loser series was fun; my favorite being The Loser on the Ski Slope who gets heckled by his own "friends" and mauled by a rather lifelike looking bear. Stacy rocks. Sometimes, and I can admit this to all of you because I use a fake name, I wish I was fifteen and had a facemask like Joe Theismann used to wear so that I could be the guy she cheats on Conan with. (Sound of me swooning.) And don't get me started on Triumph. The eventual showdown with Don Rickles will be of Epic, Pay-Per-View proportions!!! Whether old L. Ron makes it back in time is another story.

TRANSCRIPT OF THE CONAN O'BRIEN INTERVIEW ON NBC EUROPE'S VIP WITH CATRINA SKEPPER
CATRINA'S INTRODUCTION:
My special guest tonight has been described as the funniest man on the American Chat Chow scene and the King of subversive chat. Not bad for someone who was a complete unknown four years ago. He is Conan O'Brien and his Late Night show on NBC is the hottest comedy chat show around.
SHOWS CLIP FROM 3RD ANNIVERSARY SHOW
- THE DEAD LADY IN AUDIENCE.
CAT: Conan over the last four years since you've been doing Late Night you've acquired many labels and one of them is that you're Mr. Cool.
COB: In addition to Mr. Sexy and Mr. Pleasant Smelling. Those are the different labels that I have. I'm not Mr. Cool at all, I don't know why people get that impression. In fact I was a nerd in high school. And I was the one who was awkward around the girls. When I was a teenager I was 6'4" tall, and 155-pounds. Sodden by clothes. I was a freakshow and it was very frightening.
CAT: Well you still are!
COB: Thank you! Yeah, well this is going well. This date's gone horribly awry already. So, now I have this talk show and right now I'm wearing a nice little turtle neck sweater and I'm trying to act suave, but really I'm a mess.
CAT: Conan, you come from an Irish family, but you grew up in a Boston suburb, did that Irish humor affect you?
COB: Yeah, I was one of six children. Typical Irish household. We were a small Irish family of six. There was a lot of competition at the dinner table to be funnier than your brother or your sister or to top what someone else just said. And I think that's where I learned most of what I know today. It's just at the table.
CAT: A normal way of behaving for you.
COB: Yeah exactly and that's what you learn in those households, just to tell a crazier story, who can lie the best about what they did that day and get everybody else laughing. And my mother, I don't know if you've ever seen those movies with Margaret DuMont. Margaret DuMont is always saying "Well really!" that's my mother. My mother never got it. She was always saying, very proper, always studied manners, wanted us to always be well behaved. So we would all be acting crazy and ripping the kitchen table apart, acting like animals, and my mother was always saying "Now please, sit still, no that's not now I'm not going to have that, just sit still," and she's still that way today. If we do something on the show that's a little rude, she calls me up. "I'd like to think a son of mine wouldn't speak that way on national television." You know so she hasn't changed.
CAT: Keeps your feet on the ground.
COB: Yeah, exactly.
CAT: You went to Harvard University and both your parents are professionals. You must have thought you would also end up doing something quite serious.
COB: I was thinking about it. I didn't think you could make a living in show business. I thought that A) that you'd need a lot of talent and B) that there was no money in it. And it turns out I was completely wrong. On both counts. Any slob can do it and there's tons of money to be had. So I'm having the time of my life. I'm glad that I realised about halfway through college.
CAT: You discovered your talent for writing when you were President...
COB: Yeah, there's an organisation...
CAT: Not president of the United States...
COB: Yes I was president of the United States for a short time in the mid seventies. Right after Carter and before, eh, Regan.
CAT: No body knows this yet?
COB: No, I wasn't very good. There's an organisation at Harvard called the Lampoon and it's the oldest, the second oldest humor magazine in the world next to Punch. And it was founded in 1876 and it's a prestigious organisation and I became the President of that organisation at a young age. They made me the President when I was a sophomore, and voted me again when I was a junior. This was kind of a big deal at the time and I remembered thinking, "Hey maybe I can do this."
CAT: Amongst other shows, you ended up writing for SNL and the Simpsons. Bart Simpson is a loveable rogue, do you identify with him at all?
COB: Bart Simpson was fun to write for, I really liked writing for Homer and for Mr Burns.
SHOWS CLIP FROM THE SIMPSONS
- the Stonecutter Episode
COB: Mr Burns is just a great character to write for. Because he's this old, eccentric who lives in a mansion and has a limitless supply of money. We could always
invent these crazy things that he has in his mansion. his strange sort of habits that he has. We had him sleeping in a hyperbaric chamber like Michael Jackson in one of the episodes. There's a lot of fun things you could do.
CAT: We know that the Simpsons are an inspiration for others but you have a particular inspiration or obsession with that of Batman.
COB: Specifically the Batman series from the 1960's I think was one of the funniest things.
CAT: Is it the costumes?
COB: No not the costumes, the actor Adam West. Just a very, an incredibly strange acting style and even as a kid I thought that guy's so weird, I gotta meet that guy someday. So a few years ago I produced a TV pilot just before the Late Night show, we put Adam West in it Because he's got the (impersonates West) strange... blurry... feel... to every line. And it's just like where, did that acting style come from, it's very bizarre. We put him into a sitcom, where he plays an out of work actor who thinks he's a detective and tries to solve crimes. It was one of the lowest rated shows of all time in the US and I'm not kidding. I saw recently, the series was called Lookwell, there was one pilot and they aired it, I saw recently a listing of all time lowest ratings ever and it was second from the bottom.
CAT: Well, it's a cult following probably.
COB: Yeah, I think three people watched it.
CAT: So that was your sitcom career so far, but then you started doing improvisations.
COB: I know this improv is popular in Europe too and in England just making up sketches and scenes from suggestions. That's where I came from and I was doing that for years with people who later went on to be very successful. Patrick Bristow from the show Ellen, Lisa Kudrow and I were improv partners for a long time. I learned with really good people and I think that's helped me with the show now. I didn't learn stand up, which means telling jokes to people and at people, I learned to create something with somebody else, and listen and respond and that's great for interviews.
CAT: And you made that transition onto the screen.
COB: I'm sorry I wasn't listening. What was that again? I was thinking about myself. No that really helps on the show. The first season I had trouble with
the interviews and a friend of mine said I've been watching you, you gotta listen, because you're very bright and you're good when you listen. So I slowed down and instead of always trying to make a joke, listen to what the other person's saying and respond to it and if you're funny the joke will come somewhere naturally. And if not, you can add a laugh track later on. Just put a laugh track on the whole thing, a whole audience from the 1950's just laughing uproariously.
CAT: How have fame and money changes your life?
COB: I clearly don't have enough of either. I have fame, but I have a modest amount of fame. I mean, I'm not a superstar in America. I'm not even sure I'd wanna be, that just seems to lean to all kinds of other problems.
CAT: When you started out on Late Night, you were following in the footsteps of David Letterman and you were subjected to quite a lot of criticism.
COB: It was a hate fest in America. Let me tell you something, the first year on the air, the reviews I got. People were saying things like, why can't this guy just die? That was a good review. My father wrote that review, for the local paper. It was very rough the first year.
CAT: Did you ever think of quitting?
COB: No. I was drunk the whole time. I decided I'm just gonna drink my way through this year and I don't remember most of it.
CAT: How do you think you turned it around?
COB: I don't know to be honest. The first thing that was important, there's a tendency, when you do one of these shows and you're new, and people are critical to second guess yourself and to start panicking. Ok they don't like this, well we'll try this, then I'll try this and the next thing you know you're trying to please your audience. You're chasing your audience, and what happens when you chase something is that it tends to run away and you never catch it.
CAT: So all of a sudden it just happened...
COB: Yeah, what we did was just stuck to our guns and kept doing the comedy that we liked to do. Gradually, it didn't happen overnight, we started to notice that young people were watching the show, that they really enjoyed it and critics were saying nice things. The same ones that said why can't you just die, were now saying this is our favorite show in Late Night. It was a very strange phenomenon. I don't know what happened, I think someone must have bribed somebody.
CAT: The world loves a sound bite. In one sound bite, how would you describe your brand of humor?
COB: Immature and unprofessional.

*******************************************
WEEK IN REVIEW: DECEMBER 8 - 12 1997
MONDAY (repeat of April 4 1997)
Jean Claude Van Damme, Margaret Colin music from Jonny Lang
Highlights include Andy losing another staring contest. He lost concentration when a woman stripped off her robe to reveal that she was the proud owner of a hairy @ss. Or should that be 'grass,' because that's exactly what it looked like to me. Joel Goddard's gave another depressed rant, perhaps he should consider turning to Dear Dizza for advice. At least he's happy about the baseball. JeanClaudeVanDamme (it's supposed to be all one word) rearranged the furniture so he could look straight onto Conan and Andy without having to turn his head!?! He also showed off one of his famous high kicking moves, which he tried on Andy.
TUESDAY:
Courteney Cox, Chris Cattan, and music from Matthew Ryan
Year 2000
Carl 'Oldie' Olsen is suspended from appearing on Late Night for a year after his outrageous behavior during rehersal.
Courteney Cox looked just a little stressed out and Conan reminded her of the tabloid article that had them allegedly dating each other.
WEDNESDAY:
Donald Trump, Marc Maron and Dog biscuit experts Dan Dye and Mark Beckloff of the "3 Dog Bakery"
Basketball player Lautrell Sprewell appears live via satellite in an exclusive interview, appearing along with him were Mike Tyson, Marv Albert, Johnny Cochran and Janet Reno.
Donald Trump unexpectedly pulled out a condom from his pocket. Comedian Marc Maron says, "What does he need that for? Most prostitutes carry their own." Conan and Andy start a new public service campaign - to get every radio station in America to promise that on December 31 1998 they will not play Prince's 'Party Like It's 1999.' The guys from the 3 Dog Bakery try to show Conan how to put a smile o your dogs face by baking him some doggy treats. Conan tried to feed the raw ingredients to the dogs to prove a point, but the dogs were having none of it.
THURSDAY:
Helen Hunt, Todd Barry and Fisher Stevens
This show was barf-tastic. Conan and Andy were chucking up vomit jokes all night. Desk piece was 'Hidden Celebrity Talents' including Pamela Lee and photography. Nelson Mandela had a 1-900 number. This skit went hilariously wrong in the set up and Mandela's laugh had to be heard to be believed. Plus they had another annual Unwanted Relatives Drive, for Christmas this time.
FRIDAY:
Danny Aiello
Dr. Joyce Brothers
Imani Coppola
Actual Items
Christmas Carols allegedly sung by the children of NBC employees.
*******************************************
END QUOTE
I like to end the newsletter with a quote from either Conan or Andy from the week's show. I'll try to look for new quotes rather than ones from repeated shows. This week, however, I could not resist the quote taken from Conan's monologue jokes on Monday's show - a repeat from Friday 4 April 1997. It's a bit naughty and not at all politically correct, and that's why I love this joke.
If you change your Email address or screen name please let me know. If you forget to tell me then you'll miss an issue and it will slow down my own mail, so please tell me :-).
