"So it wasn’t until my third day of work that I finally decided to slip past Conan—hunched over his desk, busily doodling on that day’s script—and join the other writers behind the couch. As I settled into my spot among three veteran writers and prayed for invisibility, Conan glanced over, sized us up, and mock sneered, “Look at you four, standing there. You’re like a Mount Rushmore of incompetence.” Then he chuckled and returned to his cartooning. It was a quality put-down, and I was honestly overjoyed to be included in it."
— Todd Levin, in a fantastic article about his 8-month writing stint with The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien. The article is an absolute must-read for any Conan fans.
