ABOUT LATE NIGHT WITH CONAN O’BRIEN
Running from 1993-2009, Late Night with Conan O’Brien is one of the most beloved late night shows in television history. Known for its absurdist humor, hilarious celebrity interviews and featuring the best stand-up comedians and musical acts of the ‘90s and early 2000s. Hosted by Conan O’Brien alongside sidekick Andy Richter and house band Max Weinberg and the Max Weinberg 7, Late Night with Conan O’Brien featured unforgettable segments like “If They Mated”, “In the Year 2000”, “Desk Drive”, and made a breakout star of Triumph the Insult Comic Dog.

It can get hard to tell which were written but I wouldn't be surprised if at least half of the roasts Arnold made up. He's a very funny guy. One of the ways to tell that often works is by gauging the laugh of the interviewer. They all have a fake laugh and a real laugh.

I think he took an economics degree before anything else when he first landed in America; it was from a school in Minnesota as I recall. He is definitely not a dumb man, but as is also the case with a certain type of gorgeous woman, it takes actual brainpower to play dumb convincingly. I remember being a naieve young person traveling and how surprised I was to discover that some people seem to hit the genetic lottery not only with regards to their looks, i.e. the strength, length, symmetry/beauty their bodies naturally possess, but also with regards to their IQ.
