Conan O Brien Biography"Scientists have discovered a Chinese herb that
cures alcoholism in hamsters. They're hoping that it will cut down on
the number of accidents they have on that little wheel."
From The Simpsons and Saturday Night Live writer to the host of his
own (really) late-night entertainment fest, O'Brien's distinct humor
can now be found at this offshoot of the NBC home page. Late Night
with Conan O'Brien" is a late-night talk show hosted by Conan O'Brien.
LNwCOB appears Monday through Friday on NBC in the United States.
Beginning the week of December 11th, 1995, the show went back to the
old schedule of repeats on Monday, and new shows on Tuesday through
Friday (giving the show extra time to shoot remotes and production
pieces). It starts at 12:36:30 am EST and ends at approximately 1:35
am. It was first broadcast on September 13th, 1993 as the replacement
for "Late Night with David Letterman" when Letterman moved to CBS to
do "The Late Show."
Internationally, "Late Night" is broadcast through the "NBC
Superchannel" at 11 PM, seven days a week. Re-runs fill the two
weekend slots. The "NBC Superchannel" is currently a Pan European
satellite channel, broadcasting entertainment (NBC) and news (CNBC)
programs. It is broadcast both from Eutelsat 2 F1 across a broad area
from Russia to the Canary, and on Astra 1D, covering of Western
Europe. NBC is splitting up the programming on "The Superchannel," and
soon CNBC programs will be broadcast all the time on Astra 1D, and
entertainment (NBC programs, including "Late Night") will be only
found on Eutelsat 2 F1 during certain parts of the evening. "The NBC
Superchannel" is also carried on many European cable stations, serving
most of the continent.
NBC has plans to open "NBC Superchannel Asia" sometime early in 1996,
providing Superchannel programs to the greater Asian Pacific area.
"We're primarily a children's show. There'll be puppets later." --
