**1. DO NOT READ THIS THREAD BEFORE YOU POST YOUR ANSWERS**

**2. Object of the game: Try to think of the most popular answer,** to get the most people matching you. Google is allowed, if you desire. Only answers that are "serious" will be scored. Joke answers will not be considered, as it is not fair to other players.

3. Formatting rules:

If they are not followed, your answers might be **DISQUALIFIED**.

1. answer
2. answer
3. answer
4. answer

Make your list look like the one above. No url's. No double spacing. No periods (except for the one following the number.) No quote marks, no punctuation if it is not necessary! No smilies! No extraneous bullshit is allowed. If you feel you must qualify your answer, do it **AFTER THE LIST**!  

The reason this is so important is because I cut and paste all the answers, and I have to edit each answer to make them identical. It is a lot of work, so please make it easier on me. Thanks.

Scoring - Any answer duplicated by anyone else is worth 100 points divided by the number of entrants. For example: 50 entrant game = 2 pts per answer. If 4 people match that means they each get 8 pts for that answer. No matches = 0 points.

If any of you have ideas for Feuds -*and would like me to score them*- PM me and I'll get you on [The List.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=11057884&postcount=93) 

The game will end either when we have 50 entrants, or as soon as I can score it.
Good luck!

**Read the rules! :)**

1. Name a recurring character from "Late Night with Conan O'Brien."
2. Name a recurring sketch (other than a recurring character).
3. Name a celebrity who frequently appeared on "Late Night".
4. Other than Max, name a member of the Max Weinberg Seven
5. Other than Andy Richter, name someone who joined Conan in looking into the future, all the way to the year 2000.
6. Name a celebrity that Conan did a fake interview with via Synchro-Vox (that technique where moving lips are superimposed on a still picture).
7. Name something Andy Richter did between leaving "Late Night" and rejoining Conan for "The Tonight Show."
8. Name a "Tonight Show" host other than Conan O'Brien
9. Your reaction to Jimmy Fallon taking over "Late Night": "This is gonna be great"; "I'll give it a chance"; or "This is gonna suck".
10. How long did it take for Conan to get good at hosting "Late Night." (In 6-month increments, please - i.e. 12 months, 18 months, 36 months.)

Me too, I don’t watch Conan, Leno, Letterman or that Scottish guy.

I stopped watching late talk shows back in the early 90’s. I wonder what that coincides with?

I think it was a joke to mean Internet.

You know the internet, Mahaloth, I hear they now have mafia games online as well.

Cactus Chef playing “We didn’t start the fire” on a flute  
Gorrilla Nurse using an old fashioned Abdominal Exerciser

Man, Trying to explain Conan to a noob must be a huge under taking.
