Conan O'Brien knows how to have fun, on and off the stage. There's no exception when it comes to his interns, who he acknowledged as "the foundation of any show like mine" because "they do a lot of hard work and they do it for free" (via Team Coco). The late-night host filmed a humorous segment with his interns to give audiences a glimpse into their experiences; one stood out to us: "There's not too much going on in here so the other day, I organized the sugar packets," the intern identified as "Glasses woman" said. In another segment on his show, interns revealed (teary-eyed): "it was totally worth it."
On a serious note, an ex-script intern at "Conan" called the internship "the best learning experience I could have asked for" (via Huffpost). She also said that she worked nine hours for three days — from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. A Redditor also gave us some insight into their internship: "Watching [Conan] and the staff take a joke, try it on a few different ways and polish it up, you learn that there is a process to being funny."
You may not get to work on the late-night shows anymore but you could wait to see what O'Brien has in store for his variety program on HBO Max.
