I guess we shouldn't out alt.fan.conan-obrien folks who go on to jobs
in the real world, but, anyhow, Christopher ****nn used to give his
real name here when he posted under the handle WreckGlory.
He got royally flamed for posting his ideas about comedy writing.
It turns out that new now teaches playwrighting at the New School in
New York and that his play, "Dying City," was a finalist for the
latest Pulitzer Prize for drama.
As far as I can tell, no writers from "Saturday Night Live" or "Late
Night" have ever been nominated for a Pulitzer, let alone won.
So, this guy who could barely get into the Late Night audience back in
the 1990s now is the hottest young playwright in the country.
There is something really, um, Oedipal there.
