Interview: Late Night with Conan O'Brien writer/performer Brian Stack
Posted by: Paul Little • October 19, 2007 @ 3:28pm
I want to start by saying that I'm a big fan of Late Night with Conan O'Brien. I've been watching the show since its first episode (when I was probably too young to be watching late night TV at all) and I've been hooked ever since.
