The ultimate responsibility to drop audio on something like that is mine. It's my show, 'Late Night with Conan O'Brien,' ... If I had to do it over again, I understand that word is offensive to people, it hurts people. I would say, 'Let's drop audio on it.'

This is a huge night in my life, ... I cannot tell you how proud I am to be the Emmys' first Catholic host.

Last night there were these 16-year-old girls in the audience with homemade T-shirts, ... They've only been fans of the show for two years. They don't even remember that Andy Richter was my sidekick. It's inconceivable.

I think the best thing I ever did was, years before I got the 'Late Night' show, when I first got out to Los Angeles to be a television writer, the first thing I did was I signed up to take improvisational classes... And I studied that for years, and I really loved it.

During last night's debate, John Kerry and John Edwards were so friendly to each other some political experts think that they may end up running together. In fact Kerry and Edwards were so friendly, President Bush accused them of planning a gay marriage.

On Sunday night, my husband makes a five-course family dinner.
