teenage conan o'brien interviewing siblings

a rare footage of a young conan trying out his interviewing skills. complete with his signature nervous laugh that you can also witness during his early days hosting late night. i don't know the source of the original video, if anyone has any info on where this aired or how it came to be discovered or whether conan himself has ever talked about it, let me know. for now i'm just posting it for other folks to check out, it's a cool little snippet that, to me at least, displays conan's ambitions to become a talk show host from before his voice broke.
