LEGENDofMERLIN:
Do you ever plan to have Andy(Andi)? run a show while you sit by?
Late_Night_Conan:
That's not a bad idea. Maybe I could take a break for a week at some point and he could run things. Then I could pursue my real passion: jazzercise.
Host NBCmike:
Someone's might have a cyber-crush: Aielish: Thu, Apr 4, 9:10PM EDT (-0400 GMT)
So, answer the question everyone really wants to know Conan, do you have a girlfriend?
Late_Night_Conan:
Thanks for assuming that everyone wants to know. Actually, I do have a girlfriend but she doesn't like me to talk about her to the media. You see, she's Cher.

Conan: Clear something up for me - I say the lunar landings were fake...NASA claims they're real...what's the truth?
Late_Night_Conan:
The first two were fake. After that, NASA got their act together and pulled it off for real.

Conan, what do you feel that you owe your success to? Any role models that helped in your decision to enter the entertainment industry?
Host NBCmike:
[Conan is typing furiously]
Late_Night_Conan:
I think I owe my success to several things: I always worked pretty hard, I was lucky enough to bump into talented people like Lorne Michaels and Robert Smigel who could help me on my way, and I was pretty much ignorant of how many hurdles were in my way. The last part sounds like a joke, but one of the reasons I bit off so much in my career is that I didn't know any better.
Host NBCmike:
TONYmale:
Who are you backing for President in the coming election and why?
Late_Night_Conan:
I still think Jimmy Carter could come back and take the whole prize.
Host NBCmike:
Patrick_Kooiman:
Let's skip the internship for me, Conan, how about a job and a green card? I'm sure that one phone call from you would straighten things out immediately with Immigration
Host NBCmike:
[Patrick is from the Netherlands]
Late_Night_Conan:
I'll do what I can, my foriegn friend. In the meantime, you could get a job as a cabbie here in New York in probably three minutes. Very little is required.
Host NBCmike:
TheMovieGuy:
Did you know you are listed in the book Celebrity Access-The Directory, or how and where to write the rich and famous 1996-97/6th ed."? You've made it buddy b
Late_Night_Conan:
Thanks, pal. But until I have my own line of leisure-wear, I will not rest.
Host NBCmike:
CD_Mania:
Conan can you tell me a joke right here online?
Host NBCmike:
The pressure is on.
Late_Night_Conan:
I have one, but I'm told I can't type it on the web. Give me a second to think of a clean one.
Late_Night_Conan:
Allright, here's one. "Here in New York they're installing electric signs in the subways. Soon, you'll be seeing announcements like, 'Hey buddy, that's not water you're standing in.'"

Do you really have a large dummy in your dressing room that you beat in between segments, or do you use interns for that?
Late_Night_Conan:
Shatner was correct about me having a kickbox dummy in my dressing room. However, I don't know what he meant when he said it had a 'big crotch" and I usually beat it after the show in a sad effort to impress my female guests.
