Wow, I would so love to do this. The problem for me is that I live in San Diego during the summers, so it would be difficult for me to commute back and forth. Are the internships paid? I assume they're not, but I thought I would check anyway. Thank you so much for posting the info!

***************************************************************************
Aaron Responds: Ha ha ha. Oh well. The internships are only paid in smiles and handshakes, I'm afraid. But hey - I give a GREAT handshake. :)

thank you for posting this.

***************************************************************************
Aaron Responds: You're very welcome, Raquel. Good luck!!

Thanks Bley!!!

and thank you not only for the intern info but for keeping us updated and in the loop. I think that's why Late Night and now Tonight Show fans are always so dedicated, cuz you guys really do a lot to include us.

Okay enough niceness... i must run off to the post office now then practice my coffee getting skills or for you, tea? fresca? diet shasta orange?

***************************************************************************
Aaron Responds: Thanks, Marylin! That's very sweet of you to say. You're welcome for the info... And as long as you're up, I'll take a CVDDP! (That's a "Cherry Vanilla Diet Dr. Pepper)

You made my day. Thanks so much for the info!

Also, demanding coffee or other such beverages is a weak way of beating someone down. You'll have to work on that.

***************************************************************************
Aaron Responds: Awesome!! I don't think I've ever had an easier time making someone's day, Natalie!

And What about punching? Does punching work?

Hey Aaron,

Just wondering if you could tell me how many people usually apply and how soon the intern coordinator gets back to applicants. Thanks for the info, much appreciated.

***************************************************************************
Aaron Responds: The number of people really varies with the season - summer, of course, has the highest number of applicants. As for when people get back to you... Due to the high volume of applications, we can only respond to those people whom we want to interview!

Thanks again for being a Conan-to-civilian liaison...

Is there an available position for Motoraptor Fluffer Intern? Should I indicate that preference in my cover letter?

***************************************************************************
Aaron Responds: My pleasure, LE! As far as I know, the Reptocop has his own fluffer that he travels with. But maybe?!

awesome...you're so quick Aaron, haha. i put my info in the mail today...which is kinda goofy cuz it'll probably take days to travel the mile from my apartment to your guys's offices haha

***************************************************************************
Aaron Responds: HA! I'm quick if you catch me at the right time. ;) Good luck, Cory!

Oh how I wish I lived/went to school in southern California. What exactly do interns do at the Tonight Show? (besides coffee runs? haha)

Thanks for the info! Maybe I'll try when I'm in grad school. :)

***************************************************************************
Aaron Responds: Interns kind of do a bit of everything - they go on coffee runs, sure, but they also do things like type up premises for the mono writers, help out in the control room and on remote shoots, and... Well, kind of whatever we need them to do! They're the lifeblood of what we do, and we couldn't do our show without them. Every day is different. I really liked being an intern; it's what you make it, you know?

Thanks for posting this!
Are the internships for the whole summer or are they broken down into two parts?

***************************************************************************
Aaron Responds: You're very welcome, Sara! They're for the whole summer.

Are the internships for college credit only? Or can anyone apply for an internship position?

***************************************************************************
Aaron Responds: Yes, they're only for college credit - and you have to be getting college credit to be an intern!

Heeeeey buddy! Even though I've commented on facebook, it just donned on me that I haven't said anything on here in quite sometime! How have you been? Sounds like things are getting set up relatively quickly over there. Good good :D I've been super duper pooper busy with school lately, sooo that's what's going on in my world. I hope you are getting use to the California culture. Just wait until summer rolls in for you'll be feeling hot Hot HOT! Well, this was just a quick pop in to say hello to you and the Tonight Show crew. Hope all is jim-dandy.

-stef

Ps Thank you for providing the intern info as well as the ticket request info! You're da best in da biz!

***************************************************************************
Aaron Responds: Yo! Thanks for poppin in, Stef! Things are moving quick in the web world, but the show itself is coming together a bit more slowly... But still coming together, thank goodness!

Hey Aaron!

thank you so much for posting!! I appreciate it. I have a question though I unfortunately won't be able to apply for the summer internship program but I can for the fall because I will be in LA. I know its a little far in advance but do you know when you will be taking Fall intern applications? When do you think the best time to apply is?

thanks! can't wait for the tonight show!!!

***************************************************************************
Aaron Responds: You're welcome, Rachel! Personally, I really liked being an intern NOT in the summertime - I felt at the time that it would've been really hard to distinguish myself from the pack, you know? I'm not sure when we'll be taking Fall apps, but my advice is send in your stuff whenever you want! You might end up sending everything in again closer to the Fall, but maybe that'll help you follow up on stuff? I'm not sure. Otherwise, if you want to wait, I'd say probably July. Good luck!

Aaron,

Well you wanted to know what I thought about Jimmy Fallon's new show and my response is don't ask! You don't want to know. I watched the first two episodes (loved the Conan sketch of course!) and I have seen various bits and pieces since then and me no likey!

I think you have to like the host to watch the show and Jimmy is just not my cup of tea. He's a nice guy but he's not Conan! Conan is one in a million. Conan has a magic quality about him that few performers share.

I liked Conan from the first episode of Late Night way back when. I could watch more episodes of Jimmy but it wouldn't help me like him more. It would probably increase my dislike of him as a performer. I like him as a person, but I won't watch him on tv again.

I have watched the first three episodes of Parks and Recreation and so far I think the show is only so so! I will continue to watch and hope that the show gets better. So far I'm not getting the funny!

I am delighted that Andy Richter is coming back to NBC! I was hoping that he would team up with Conan again! They have such great chemistry together! Conan is even funnier with Andy! I was sad when Andy left Late Night but now he's back!!!

***************************************************************************
Aaron Responds: Cindy! You're back!! Where have you been all these many weeks?!?? I hope you're doing well!

I agree that Andy is totally awesome, and him and Conan are great together! I never had a chance to work with Andy, so it's really cool to be able to walk down the hall and see him and Conan joking around with each other!

What are your thoughts on Joel Machale and The Soup on E? Are you a fan?

I noticed that these are all internships for college credit only, do you have any internships for the "I just graduated and have a B.A. now" crowd?

***************************************************************************
Aaron Responds: Not that I know of... Sorry, Mel. We do have Production Assistants now, though!

I'm a finance major so chances are any credit I got from interning would not count towards my major. Could I still be an intern?

***************************************************************************
Aaron Responds: It doesn't matter if the credit counts towards your major or not; you just need to be receiving some sort of college credit.
