Is Conan doing a 10 year anniversary show?
Late Night with Conan O'brien started in 1993, correct? So has anyone heard anything about a 10 year anniversary show? I would love to see clips from his old shows, especially from the "brown set era". There are so many skits and characters that I have loved, but never see anymore. Namely Pimpbot, Oldy Olsen (I believe he died a few years back), staring contests, public service announcements, etc etc. Anyone heard anything?

I would assume he will. He did one back in 1998, if I do remember correctly. Either that or is was a "so many shows" show. Not sure which, but I do remember him doing a retrospective with tons of good suprise guests.

Some of my favorite Conan moments...
TV "interview" with Jesse Jackson where The Rev. was discussing Clinton's military (mis?)adventures, and they had him say, "I chose to negotiate, rather than annihilate; while you vacillate, and ejaculate!"
Auditioning Arab-looking guys to take over for Seinfeld. They'd have some man off-camera feeding them lines like "What is the deeeeeeeal with corn nuts?" then the dudes would repeat it in mangled English.
Edit: OK, I've returned to my Conan sig, a reference to one of those fake "The More You Know....." PSAs. Don't know why I love this so much. I even had it as a sound clip on my comp back in the Napster days.

I wish their was a 10 year anniversary for Conan, a lot of classic shows are never repeated because andy isn't on the show anymore.

I'd be surprised if he didn't do a 10 year anniversary. I mean he has indeed already done 3 and 5 year anniversary shows... and he KIND of commemorated his 1000th show...

And I loved when he was talking with the pregnant woman who said that her kid will be a Star Wars fan:
"So when is the little nerd due?"
"July 5th"
"And that's the last time he will ever see female genitalia."

One of my favorite lines came from an early Conan skit about a Dynasty-type soap.
Announcer: Last night on Conan O'Brien
Woman: You're a bastard!
Conan: Yes, I know!
I love that line.

Being an H-Town resident, I always dug Conan's skits around 4 years ago where he poked fun at the Houston NBC affiliate for airing the show at 2:40 AM. He even had a contest where the viewers decided between Hilton the Chainsaw Guy and Mattress Mac for the best local commercials during the show's broadcasts in Houston. And once he actually travelled here and visited Rice University at 3 in the morning. He went into someone's dormroom and watched his show with them.
And speaking of 10th anniversaries, let's not forget Conan's successful campaign to get Dirty Dancing re-released in 1997.
