"I remember thinking that Jeff is a different species than I am. That species could easily rip my throat open," - Conan O'Brien, about Jeff Zucker and their relationship at Harvard.
Conan ran the Lampoon; Zucker ran the Crimson. I knew neither. I just remember that everyone hated Zucker and thought Conan was some sort of comic deity.
