O’Brien, Jean, Reiss, Kogen and Martin
“Cartoons have writers?” – Bart Simpson “Enh, sort of.” – Lisa Simpson The 81 minute roundtable discussion Conan O’Brien hosted with Al Jean, Mike Reiss, Jay Kogen, and Jeff Martin is now live on O’Brien’s website. (I couldn’t get the embedding to work here on WordPress.) I must warn you: it is very addictive. I started it thinking I’d watch a few minutes and then come back to it tonight when I had more time.

Very Belated Simpsons Alumni Update: Conan O’Brien
There was no new Zombie Simpsons last night and because it’s Martin Luther King Day here in the States things are kinda slow. (MLK Day is like a lot of America’s second tier holidays in that we only partially observe it. Case in point: the mail doesn’t get delivered but my garbage was picked up as usual this morning.) But I did find this absolutely excellent New York Times op-ed piece from 1993 (via Warming Glow). It was written by a fresh off The Simpsons Conan O’Brien as a fake review of his opening night as a late night host. …
