Conan Gives Hilton's Furniture An Advertising Makeover

Conan O’Brien met his wife, Liza Powel, in 2000 during a sketch for his show "Late Night with Conan O’Brien." At the time, Liza was working as a copywriter at the advertising agency where the show’s sketch was being produced. She appeared in a sketch called "The Realistic Weight Loss" commercial, which was part of a larger advertising parody on the show.

Their meeting was quite serendipitous; Conan and Liza were introduced during the production of this sketch. They hit it off and began dating soon after. The couple got married on January 12, 2002, and have since built a life together, with Liza being a key supporter of Conan’s career and the couple having two children together.

Late Night with Conan O’Brien was a groundbreaking American talk show that aired on NBC from September 13, 1993, to February 20, 2009. Hosted by Conan O’Brien, the show was known for its unique and irreverent style of comedy, which combined sharp wit, satirical sketches, and offbeat humor. O’Brien, who took over from David Letterman, brought a fresh and distinctive voice to late-night television, blending self-deprecating humor with absurdist comedy.

The show featured a mix of celebrity interviews, musical performances, and original comedy sketches. Conan’s playful, unpredictable approach and his signature "In the Year 2000" sketches became iconic elements of the show. His “Clueless Gamer” segments, where he played video games with celebrity guests, and the elaborate, often surreal comedic bits, such as the “Walking Tour” of New York City, showcased his inventive spirit.

Throughout its run, "Late Night with Conan O’Brien" earned a devoted following and critical acclaim for its innovative approach to late-night television. The show was recognized with several awards, including Emmys, and helped to launch the careers of many prominent comedy writers and performers.

In 2009, Conan O’Brien moved to “The Tonight Show” as part of a network shuffle, and “Late Night” was taken over by Jimmy Fallon. The legacy of "Late Night with Conan O’Brien" endures in the impact it had on late-night comedy and the lasting influence of Conan’s creative and eccentric style.
