CONAN O'BRIEN, 12/16/93 - "THE AMERICLAN" (ANDY'S IMPROV GROUP)

CONAN, 12/16/93 - Andy's improv group, "The Americlan", (Andy, Robert Smigel, Louis C.K., and .....???....Doug Dale (thanks "asp5" and "sircasab83"), performs an educational piece on The Founding Fathers. The members are resentful of Andy having left for his new gig on Conan, and they start bickering. (Ben Franklin, Jefferson, John Adams and John Hancock - later joined by Abraham Lincoln!!!). (Note: The actor playing Lincoln, Dino Stamatopoulos, also played Tomari the Ostrich, "Conan's Kiss-Ass Thanksgiving Turkey" and other characters). (The cable was acting up that evening, but cleared up at 3:15) (At 3:44, Robert Smigel says: "Give me liberty, or give me static cling.")

I'm getting no sound.

@SethHesio There is sound, but very low. Pls see my profile.

[DanzaSlap]

Is that Dino Stamatopoulos as Abe Lincoln?

[chalomirof63]

Yup! Check "More Info".

[sircasab83]

Almost 99% positive the unknown guy is Doug Dale, who later went on to play the Doug host on Robert Smigel's TV Funhouse on Comedy Central

[chalomirof63]

Hey, thanks for the info!

[SpaghettiJesus]

I dont believe Louis C.K. was ever that young. It is CGI trickery!

[asp5]

Yes, that's clearly Doug Dale from TV's Funhouse.

[cactuskelly]

[mhz23]

[MusicJew158]

[29dave]

Doug Dale!

[MysidianMage]

Haha, Founding Fathers improv- amusingly esoteric. I like how Smigel's hat keeps falling off! Pretty interesting how Smigel and Stamatopoulos both went on to have their own animated series...

@mrbobbyh nah, I like the look.
