Late Night Writers' Projects on ComedyCentral.com
Tim Harrod and Jon Glaser currently have web shows featured on ComedyCentral.com:
- "Golden Age": The shocking true stories of the world's strangest cartoons. Each segment uses a whirlwind blend of mixed media to satirize classic cartoons from the past. "Golden Age" was created and directed by Aaron Augenblick at Augenblick Studios ("Wonder Showzen"). The series was written by Augenblick and Tim Harrod ("Late Night with Conan O'Brien") and features original music by Bradford Reed. "Golden Age" is an official selection of the 2007 Sundance Film Festival.
- "Tiny Hands": A live-action show about the life and times of Dave Gordon, a man who has hands the size of a baby's. It might not sound like a bad affliction, but everything from buying gloves to holding a microphone is a monumental task when you have tiny, tiny hands. "Tiny Hands" was created by Jon Glaser, longtime writer/performer for "Late Night with Conan O'Brien."
Conan: The Musical
 A group of film students from Arizona State University has created "Conan: The Musical", a short movie musical that explores what might happen if Conan suddenly lost "his funny". The musical can be viewed at conanmusical.com or YouTube. Further information can be found at MySpace and in a GetOut Arizona article.
Late Night Bumpers Website
A fan has created a website with high quality bumpers (images that appear after commercial breaks) from the original high definition broadcasts and information about many of the bumpers' origins. The site will be updated as new bumpers are aired: Conan HD Bumper Gallery.
More bumpers can be found at the Late Night with Conan O’Brien Picture Archive.
Late Night Blog: Conan Island
A Late Night fan and former film critic has been recapping episodes of the show in his Conan Island blog.
The Viktor Show
Viktor Wanner, the "Late Night" audience member from Germany who was featured two days in a row in September, has created a Colbert Report-esque YouTube video called "The Viktor Show". According to Viktor, some of his friends in Germany were somewhat obsessed with his appearance on "Late Night" and the attention it was getting him on the internet, so they eventually talked him into making "The Viktor Show" to play off a joke that Michael Clarke Duncan made on "Late Night".
Brian McCann Gets a Talk Show
 Late Night writer/performer Brian McCann is starring in "Now That’s Entertainment with Reginald Westinghouse" written by Chris Carlson for Spike TV.
McCann plays Reginald Westinghouse, a homebound agoraphobe who runs a talk show from his own home.
Spike has not officially picked up the show, as it may be too crazy for them to air, so if you particularly like it be sure to leave a comment on YouTube. An official announcement about whether the shows gets picked up should be made in November.
NBC picks up 6 episodes of Andy Barker, P.I.
According to a Variety article published May 12: “Reversing earlier buzz to the contrary, NBC has ordered six episodes of the Andy Richter laffer Andy Barker, P.I. for midseason.”
Conan's former "Late Night" sidekick Andy Richter is set to star in the new NBC pilot. Conan teamed with Jonathan Groff, former longtime head writer of "Late Night," and the two quickly developed and wrote the pilot.
NBC has put up the official Andy Barker, PI website, which includes a synopsis, video preview, and a list of cast/credits.
