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.

I can't believe they went to the trouble of having a real live horse on stage😂

[@purplefuku]

Awareness Del is my ABSOLUTE FAVOURITE Conan sketch of all time!! So absurd but so funny.

[@Hardcastle83]

What set Conan apart from all other talk shows before or since were these absurd off the wall comedy ideas the writers were free to play around with, beautifully played out with conviction by some of the funniest improv comedy actors ever.

[@theneurologist1]

Aired 10-1-99 Conan was a breath of fresh air with the news all talking about Y2K doom and gloom

[@paulstewart6203]

Just wondering if anyone remembers. One of Conan's last network shows, max Wineberg and his drum set rolls out of the studio, then out of the parking lot and down the street. I've been looking for that video for years..

[@LaGuerre19]

Seeing Jon Glaser romp around Central Park as Awareness Del again and Conan on JDP like he's Dick Clark on Bandstand absolutely made my day.

[@TheMovieUniverse]

Now i want to learn about Delaware.

[@jkfecke]

Well let's go!

[@lococomrade3488]

🐕

[@simonp37]

That got really weird at the end... "We'll be right back with Kevin Spacey" 🤨

[@YolandaAnneBrown95726]

That poor horse looked terrified when Kevin Spacey's name was announced...

[@Hardcastle83]

Damn the awareness del jingle is a blast from the past.

[@YodatheHobbit]

Hahaha, those jockey actor's are SO good.

[@Hardcastle83]

The one who was kind of bashful and shy about having new riding silks, lol. I bet conan loved that sketch, he loves old tymey TV and that is clearly a parody of all those weird dance party shows from the 60s.

[@EmperorMAR]

I could watch it all night too

[@Hardcastle83]

Spacey is on his way, somebody hide the jockeys.

[@matthewreynolds2384]

Anyone think of the Wayne's World Delaware segment when watching this? 😂😂😂

[@matthewreynolds2384]

Awareness Dell, wow that guy really wanted to know about Delaware. 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

[@lumpydavidg2201]

So Letterman. Conan carried his torch a long way. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@lukeguilfoyle2425]

What a great sketch, happened to air on the day I was born!

[@deusexmachina2222]

Meanwhile, I was watching it live lol... Weird

[@nicholasmoose6574]

Can we get a video on the podcast where Conan discusses Awareness Del with Aubrey Plaza now that she's such a famous Delawarean?

[@danielleschumacher1120]

It's Delawareness

[@barbaroja.mp3]

Awareness Del is proto adultswin

[@blakeandrews3613]

Stack is king!!!

[@darareachphon]

I do not want to take a break.

[@Bombadil-ez9ns]

Rule 34 always wins.

[@masterofallgoons]

Never once said 'Delawareness' ... very frustrating

[@cameronclark4122]

Was that Jeremy Jamm?

[@D1ngusKhan]

Jon Glaser was a longtime writer/performer on the show, always hilarious. If you haven't seen him before, you should look up The Slipnutz and Pubes, 2 of his best bits

[@nicholasmoose6574]

Yes and Leslie Knope is Andy's little sister.

[@Psykel]

F*CK YES, JON GLASER!

[@wordyballoons]

Conan walked so Eric Andre could run.

[@qapplor]

Jon Glaser GOAT

[@Belteshazzar_Antalan]

Thank team coco! I have now an orange porn addict

[@SantaBarbaraBiking]

I don't think they would pull that gun joke again.

[@GuardianOwl]

It was a pretty common trope in early Conan sketch comedy, if they had difficulty figuring out the end button on a sketch, have one of the characters shoot another character.

[@callmeshaggy5166]

@@GuardianOwl other times, it's the premise. Such as man with bulletproof legs

[@PopeLando]

Or have Kevin Spacey as a guest...

[@jamesyoungquist6923]

Yep that bit didn't age well
