This week on our Inside Late Night podcast, Andy Blitz joins Mark Malkoff to discuss writing for Conan O’Brien, appearing in famous Conan pieces such as Slipnutz, playing Vin Diesel’s brother, and writing on Jason Kelce’s recent late-night show.

1992’s “Bob Swerski’s Quiz Masters” starred George Wendt as the host of a Jeopardy!-like game show. Thought not readily available online, Smigel writes that it’s his favorite Superfans sketch, and remembers it as “the one George had the most fun with,”

Smigel, whose SNL Superfans sketches birthed the “Da Bears” catchphrase, shared an image of Friday’s Chicago Sun-Times front page with the caption “Just posting this so my followers can experience how weird this feels in real time.”
