At the height of Conan’s late night show, my brother and I were teenagers. He worked in the kitchen of a fancy beach club in a town that Conan vacations in. The man was there for an event and my brother was serving “mini pear salad” on a buffet line. Conan quipped to my brother “mini pears huh? Are those the pears that got beaten up in high school?” And my brother, star struck, just responded with a nervous, voice-cracking “yes, Mr. O’Brien”
