Trivia:

Al Roker has the record for the most appearances on the show with over 30. Al Franken is second with over 25. The reason for their numerous appearances is that both Als are usually the "go to" guys whenever another guest cancels. This has been brought up and joked about on one Al Franken appearance.

Quotes:

[after Uma Thurman tells him that she sometimes eats in the nude]
Conan O'Brien: I tried that once, but I was kicked out of Denny's.

Late-Night Comedy At It's Best

'Late Night With Conan O'Brien' will put at least a silly smile on your face every time you watch it. Conan gives viewers a good and fun hour to just let loose. With all of the hysterical skits and witty humour, you'll wonder why you didn't watch this show to begin with. Conan O'Brien makes a delightfully wonderful host and can take even the boringest subjects and make it funny for everyone.

Granted the show has had its moments of non-funny stupidity, but there's no doubt that you'll be laughing again within the next ten minutes. Not only is this show great for laughs, but it features a wide variety of special guests varying from movie stars, singers, political figures, to some of the weirdest people you will ever meet. Conan has been praised in the past to be equal to or even better than 'The Tonight Show'! And you'll definitely know why when you see it.

I, myself, have watched this show for nearly seven years and I can assure that 'Late Night With Conan O'Brien' is late-night TV at its best.
