Conan O’Brien is a well documented lover of music. From his own occasional guitar-wielding appearances on stage to his week-long residencies of yesteryear (See Neil Young, The White Stripes), the musical guest has always seemed a little extra important to the Conan brand in comparison to other late night shows. Anyone who has watched Conan with any consistency knows this as fact. But the name of the man responsible for this is somewhat unknown.
Through the ups and downs of Conan’s talk show hosting career, talent booker Jim Pitt has stayed by his side. In 1993, Pitt booked Radiohead as the first ever act on “Late Night with Conan O’Brien” and since then, he’s not missed a beat.
