* ''The Harvard Lampoon'', editor (post-''[[Bored of the Rings]]'')
* ''[[Saturday Night Live]]''
* ''[[The Simpsons (animation)|The Simpsons]]'' (writer) -- the "Monorail" episode, etc.

Line 42:
{{quote|'''Conan''': Talk about biting the hand that feeds me!}}
** The next night he did a skit which involved TBS' standards office to see what the standards of Basic Cable were compared to network television. Assless chaps (to see how much of his ass could be shown) and a fishtank underwear (with a submarine covering the buttcrack) were tested; {{spoiler|the TBS standards guy turned out to be an extra on the movie ''[[Road Trip]]''}}. The NBC ordeal gave him this Trope to use as joke material, basically.
** Many of Conan's skits [[Most Tropers Are Young Nerds|about nerds]] count as [[Biting the Hand Humor]], as [[Discussed Trope|admitted]] by Conan himself. Neener neener!
* [[Black and Nerdy]]: Graphic designer Pierre Bernard.
* [[Boston Rage]]: The source of the occaisional joke about Bostonians (he is from Boston).
Line 94:
* [[Sidekick]]: Andy Richter.
* [[Smarter Than You Look]]: If you're introduced to Conan via Masturbating Bear or other lowbrow comedy bits, it may come as a surprise to learn he graduated from Harvard (and was valedictorian of his high school class).
** On a slightly less lowbrow note, you may have been introduced to him via [[The Onion]] or ''[[The Simpsons (animation)|The Simpsons]]''.
* [[Something Completely Different]]: An episode of his ''Late Night'' show was done entirely in [[Stop Motion|Claymation]].
** For one [[Halloween Episode]], a rerun was done entirely in [[X-Ray Vision|Skelevision]].
