Conan O'Brien

Well, we have come up on a very nice anniversary.

Hard to believe, but five years ago this month, we did our very first fan episode.

And it's been five years.

I can't believe it.

And I really love these segments.

And the very first one featured a fan of mine named Dan Housen.

Now, Dan Housen is a wrestler.

And he explained to me when we did this very first fan episode that he had loosely based his character, his wrestling character, on me.

if I was an interdimensional demon, which seems redundant to me.

And Dan Housen and I had a great conversation.

We talked about comedy, performance, the love of entertaining people.

And what struck me, and still I remember this to this day, Dan Housen told me that he had been grinding away for the past eight years, driving 12 hours every weekend just to be able to get up in front of people and wrestle.

And this is a guy who just applied an incredible work ethic to his passion.

And I was so impressed with this fellow.

Well, now it's five years later and I am thrilled to report that Dan Housen has recently made his WWE debut to rave reviews.

And this is proof again.

that if you can marry hard work to your passion, you can go places.

So on behalf of myself and all of us here at Team Coco, massive congratulations and mad respect to Dan Housen.

And I'm so proud of you, happy for you.

And I just should mention, because your character's based on me, I'm getting 20%.
