110. a couple of things I remember about O'Brien is him bowing to dennis Miller like he was a god a few
years ago and this-

Has Conan O'Brien ever apologized to Hans Blix?

At the time before the Iraq War, Conan O'Brien introduced a running gag on "Late Night" where he had a Hans Blix look-alike search for things that were "hidden in plain sight", obviously alluding to the fact that the weapons inspector Hans Blix was assumed to be too stupid to find the weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. This segment of the show was clearly designed to ridicule Hans Blix, who was perceived to be too stupid to find things that should be very easy to find.

As we now know, the weapons of mass destruction really did not exist, and Hans Blix was most definitely not as stupid as portrayed by O'Brien.

So the question is: Was O'Brien ever man enough to apologize to Hans Blix? I stopped watching the show around the time when that segment appeared, so I don't know if O'Brien ever actually said that he is sorry for portraying Blix as a stupid idiot. Did he? Or has he ever said anything about this in interviews?
