Full Version: Desperately trying to figure out who the guy is.

So, like, I don't know if you guys remember back a few years ago when Conan was being syndicated on Comedy Central for a little while.. there were little promos they'd run all the time, showing clips of Late Night etc. etc. Anyway, at the end of one of the most frequently used ads, a comedian (whom I'm assuming was a guest at the time) looks at the camera and screams, "WHAT!" in this outrageously shocked and angry/terrified voice... it was one of those things where every single time it aired and it'd get to that part I'd start crying with laughter. I had no idea who the guy was though.

A while back (like a year or so) I accidently came across a forum post on some Conan O'brien fansite that was basically one of the writers telling stories about some of his favorite sketches and recurring guests... and one of the things he brought up was that guy, and that moment in the promo. He gave his name and I was so excited to finally know who had been making me laugh all those years ago.......... but I forgot to bookmark it. Awesome.

I just remembered that guy and I tried Googling for the forum post again, but no luck. It's driving me CRAZY! Does anyone know the guy I'm talking about? Or (oh god wouldn't it be great) a CLIP of the promo in question?

I realize this is a big shot in the dark, and kind of an obscure request, but I figured here would be a good place to start. :-)

Thanks guys!

Could you possibly be thinking of comedian/actor Eddie Pepitone? He's a very funny guy who used to do lots of bits on "Conan" years ago before he moved to LA. I remember him yelling, "Oh my God!" in one of the old "Conan" promos. Eddie excels at playing loud, angry characters even though he's nothing like that in real life.

YES!!!!!!!!!!!! THAT'S HIM! And now that you mention it, you're right, it was "oh my god," not, "no." It was so long ago I guess I'd forgotten! Thank you thank you thank you!!!!!!

You guys don't happen to know of any clips of him doing that online, do you? I'll of course do some Googling and all that jazz, but if anyone knows anything right off the bat that'd be great too. XD

but thanks again dawg you're my hero!
