  • Conan O'brien
    Second Place Stars presents… The O’Brien Hourly Bonus 1 Perhaps you know him from his show on TBS or perhaps you have been a devout follower since the days of Late Night with Conan O’Brien. Or maybe you have no idea who this red- headed person in a suit is (in which case, I pity you). Either way, test your knowledge of Conan and the various late night shows he has been affiliated with. Even if you don’t know a single thing about Conan, there may be some questions you may still know the answer to. The number in the brackets at the end of the question represents how many points each question is worth. But in the end, your answers will be graded on a 15 point scale if you don’t use the internet or a 10 point scale if you do use the internet. Good luck! 1. Before becoming the host for Late Night, Conan was a writer for The Simpsons. This episode, written by Conan O’Brien, had a guest appearance by Leonard Nimoy. [1] 2. Before either she or Conan was married or famous and before she played a New York City masseuse or a web therapist, this actress was reportedly more than just “friends” with her fellow Groundling. [1] Several other famous actors had their start on Late Night with Conan O’Brien either as interns or actors. Most of them are still affiliated with the peacock network particularly by its Thursday night comedy line up. Who knew watching television would come in handy one day? 3.

  • Defining Homeland Security: Analysis and Congressional Considerations
    Defining Homeland Security: Analysis and Congressional Considerations Updated January 8, 2013 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov R42462 Defining Homeland Security: Analysis and Congressional Considerations Summary Ten years after the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, the U.S. government does not have a single definition for “homeland security.” Currently, different strategic documents and mission statements offer varying missions that are derived from different homeland security definitions. Historically, the strategic documents framing national homeland security policy have included national strategies produced by the White House and documents developed by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Prior to the 2010 National Security Strategy, the 2002 and 2007 National Strategies for Homeland Security were the guiding documents produced by the White House. In 2011, the White House issued the National Strategy for Counterterrorism. In conjunction with these White House strategies, DHS has developed a series of evolving strategic documents that are based on the two national homeland security strategies and include the 2008 Strategic Plan—One Team, One Mission, Securing the Homeland; the 2010 Quadrennial Homeland Security Review and Bottom-Up Review; and the 2012 Department of Homeland Security Strategic Plan. The 2012 DHS strategic plan is the latest evolution in DHS’s process of defining its mission, goals, and responsibilities. This plan, however, only addresses the department’s homeland security purview and is not a document that addresses homeland security missions and responsibilities that are shared across the federal government. Currently, the Department of Homeland Security is developing the 2014 Quadrennial Homeland Security Review, which is due late 2013 or early 2014.

  • Andy Richter – Actor, Writer, Comedian and Sidekick of Conan O’Brien
    Andy Richter – actor, writer, comedian and sidekick of Conan O’Brien Andy Richter is an actor, writer and comedian. He’s best known for working with Conan O’Brien on three different talk shows over the years. He often plays dumb guys on t-v shows, but he’s super smart. He was born in Indiana but grew up mostly in Illinois. His first inkling of depression came at a very young age and it involved a record player. “My parents divorced when I was four. I remember being a child and listening to Simon and Garfunkel’s Bridge over Troubled Water. I didn’t fully understand it, but I would play it over and over. My Dad stayed in Bloomington and my Mom took us to her parents in Illinois. I would play a slide show in my head of Bloomington and of our house and make myself so sad. So I learned this kind of luxuriating in sadness and depression. I must have been deriving some kind of comfort.” Most kids that age don’t act like that. But Andy had an affinity for depression. Along with finding a connection to misery, he found a connection to comedy. It was the Carol Burnett show. “Honestly, it was imitating the Carol Burnett show and making my Grandmother and my brother and my family laugh. And also being an incorrigible smart-ass. As my mother said ‘I get paid for doing what I used to get sent out into the hall for in grade school.’” Andy said as a kid, his depression went from mental state to physical symptom.
