A lot of our writers, like Conan O'Brien, moved on to other things.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When I was in college, I wanted to write for 'Late Night With Conan O'Brien,' and I was an intern there.
Writers are just like other people, except slightly more obsessed.
I really hesitate to say that any of my shows influenced other writers.
The whole ecosystem of celebrity has broken down for writers. If you go back to the '50s, '60s, and '70s, writers were on TV a lot, and they were allowed to misbehave a lot.
I watch Jay. I watch 'Letterman'. I flip back and forth between 'Conan' and 'Letterman', especially the top of the show for those guys.
Conan O'Brien's the best. I'm glad he's in L.A. because I want to move in with him. I was a guest on that show one time to promote 'Human Giant,' and he was the coolest, funniest guy. I was really impressed. He's also eight feet tall and can shoot lightning from his fingertips.
I did have someone tell me that I looked like Conan O'Brien. I was like, 'What?'
The writers are the stars of every really successful sitcom.
Being an actor, we're so dependent on the writers.
I started on 'Saturday Night Live' the same time Conan started on Late Night. We just had a relationship because I would be upstairs in the studio and whenever he couldn't get a guest - which was often back then since he was just starting out - he would just call me down to be a guest.
