00:00Do you want to see the moment that Conan O'Brien met and fell in love with his wife Liza Powell
00:04back in 2000, before she was his wife?
00:06Back in 2000, many regional NBC affiliates had an interesting policy of, I guess, allowing
00:10a local madman to plan their nightly schedule.
00:13Due to this unorthodox programming philosophy, there was a two-and-a-half-hour break between
00:18the end of The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and late night with Conan O'Brien in the
00:21Houston market, pushing the latter late night show all the way back to 2.10 a.m., a time
00:25slot that attracts the most unusual of local sponsors.
00:29In order to playfully call out Houston's scheduling lunatic for his shoddy work, Conan
00:32O'Brien decided to select one such Houston sponsor for an advertising makeover, in which
00:38he would enlist the help of a top New York ad agency to punch up the early-morning commercials
00:42that punctuated the show's Houston airings.
00:44In the sketch, Conan met with a group of copywriters from an ad agency, a committee that included
00:49one Liza Powell.
00:51And as O'Brien and Powell came together to give Hilton's furniture and its chainsaw-wielding
00:55owner a commercial facelift, sparks flew between the late-night host and his soon-to-be-lady
00:59love.
