Conan O Brien

With "a comic identity as distinctive as his name" according to The New York Times, Conan O'Brien has firmly established himself in the late night universe. Hailed by The Washington Post as "modest, wry, self-effacing, and demonstrably the most intelligent of the late-night comics," Conan O'Brien is "one of TV's hottest properties" according to People magazine's "25 Most Intriguing People" issue. His unique brand of comedy has also earned Conan O'Brien the title "Late Night's King of Cool" from Entertainment Weekly.

Since 1993, Conan O'Brien has been combining his talents as writer, performer, and interviewer as host of Late Night, which The Boston Globe dubbed, "the most consistently funny and original show on late night." In 2009, he will take over the reins of NBC's venerable The Tonight Show.

In 2002, Conan O'Brien brought his signature wit and style to his hosting duties on the 54th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards, garnering big laughs and critical acclaim, delivering "one of the funniest opening monologues in Emmy history" according to The Los Angeles Times. He returns to host the 58th Annual Emmy Awards in 2006.

Late Night has been honored with Emmy nominations for "Outstanding Comedy-Variety Series" since 2003, and for the last 10 years, Conan O'Brien and the Late Night writing team have consistently received Emmy nominations for "Outstanding Writing in a Comedy or Variety Series." He and the Late Night writing staff have also won six Writer's Guild Awards for Best Writing in a Comedy/Variety Series, including two consecutive wins in 2002 and 2003.

A two-time president of the notorious Harvard Lampoon, Conan O'Brien moved to Los Angeles upon graduation and joined the writing staff of HBO's Not Necessarily the News. During his two years with the show, he also performed regularly with several improvisational groups, including The Groundlings. By 1988 his talents had come to the attention of Saturday Night Live Executive Producer Lorne Michaels, who hired Conan O'Brien as a writer in January of that year. His 3 1/2 years on the show produced such recurring sketches as "Mr. Short-Term Memory" and "The Girl Watchers" (first performed by Tom Hanks and Jon Lovitz). In 1989, his work on SNL was recognized with an Emmy Award for "Outstanding Writing in a Comedy or Variety Series."

In the spring of 1991, Conan O'Brien left SNL and wrote and produced a TV pilot, Lookwell, starring Adam West. It was telecast on NBC in July of that year, but was not picked up as a series. That fall, Conan O'Brien signed on as a Writer/Producer for the Fox series The Simpsons, where he later became the show's Supervising Producer. Of all the episodes he wrote, his favorite is "Marge vs. the Monorail."

On April 26, 1993, Conan O'Brien was selected from among a field of talented potential hosts of Late Night for his particular and unique mix of "vitality, wit and intelligence," according to Michaels.

Born in Brookline, Massachusetts, Conan O'Brien is married with two children and resides in New York City. His birthday is April 18.
