   Jim Ellwanger, a 31-year-old online copy editor living in Van Nuys,   
   California.  (I edit the "sponsored search results" listings for the   
   Yahoo! Search Marketing division of Yahoo!)   
      
   >         3.  When did you first see Conan O'Brien?   
      
   When was his first appearance in the background of an "SNL" skit?  That   
   was probably it.

   Monday, September 13, 1993, at the beginning of my sophomore year of   
   college.

   TiVo, which I was prompted to buy because of the difficulty of   
   remembering to properly set the VCR and cable box to record Conan every   
   night.   
      
   But that's only an accidental benefit of the show.  "Late Night" has   
   introduced me to the work of one Andy Richter, not to mention a fair   
   number of musical performers that I've come to enjoy.   
      
   >         6.  What's your favorite genre of TV show?   
      
   Game shows.   
      
   >         10.  Is this question in the wrong place?   
      
   Absolutely.   
      
   >         7.  What kind of show do you end up watching most often?   
      
   Comedy.   
      
   >         8.  What would you want to do, if you were working on Late   
   > Night?   
      
   Sneak into the NBC control room.  Replace tonight's 6-month-old rerun   
   with a 12-year-old rerun.

   Hey, no fair making us do your homework for you!
