Great show. Conan mentioned to John Cleese that he sometimes was a little too uptight about spending time on bits that wouldn't be going into his shows. But a friend of mine wrote for him on the Late Show in the '90s, and even though my friend couldn't get any jokes past the censors, Conan kept him on for years. (One segment that he did get on the show was "Real Life Arguments" with actors playing the parts of viewers who had sent in their real life arguments. The first & last argument featured was that of my mom & adult brother who lived together and were arguing about about a dentist appointment she made for him without his consent.)
