I remember back in the day staying up late to watch Late Night with Conan O'Brien, then switching over to Comedy Central to watch The Daily Show with Craig Kilborn (and late that Stewart guy, whatever happened to him?). Feels like a hundred years ago now.

I was a religious follower of Late Night with Conan O'Brien.
Along with Norm MacDonald and to a lesser extent Chris Farley, Conan became one of the people I most looked up to when it came to comedy.
My dad was never overtly protective of what I watched, but sometimes found some of the material on SNL too crude for someone my age, but he never got after me for watching Conan, especially since he loved how ridiculous Conan could be at times, both he and I had a wacky sense of humor and enjoyed some of the more bizarre elements of the show.
My favorite recurring segment was the 'Good Ol' Fashioned Stare Downs' where Andy and Conan would stare at one another with the first person breaking concentration losing. Of course it was rigged in that something would be going on behind Conan that Andy could see, which would lead to him eventually losing. For such bizarre non sequitur segments, there was some brilliantly funny stuff here that I'm amazed that no one accidentally broke character and laughed at.

I loved the show. It fit my senses so well, weird & at times subversive but rarely if ever mean. It was appointment TV for me thru the mid 2000s. As for favorite bits I'll always have a soft spot for Pimpbot 5000 (I used my pimp ray to turn out your entire viewing audience. That was five people & a dog! Yes, your entire viewing audience) and Brian Stack as The Interpreter. And there are so many more bits I still reference to this day.
