He does look sort of like a Muppet

Conan O'Brien, famous wacky late night television host, got his comedic "start" (more or less) as the President of the Harvard Lampoon, an organization mostly known at this point for its spin-off, National Lampoon (which in turn is responsible for such gems as National Lampoon's Animal House, National Lampoon's Vacation, and, er, National Lampoon Presents Dorm Daze (by the mid-Eighties, the "National Lampoon" started being licenced out to whoever was willing to pony up for the one-time rights to the name, leading to rather a lot of awful dogs with that slapped on the title).


His predecessor in the role?  None other than Lisa Henson, daughter of Jim Henson and current CEO of Muppet Labs The Jim Henson Company.
