CONAN O\u2019BRIEN IS one of the most recognisable faces in television.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s hosted late-night US talk shows since the 1990s, written for Saturday Night Live and The Simpsons, and now hosts a very popular podcast, Conan O\u2019Brien Needs A Friend.<\/p>\n

He is, of course, Irish American too, which means we have a particular gr\u00e1 for him in Ireland.<\/p>\n

Conan is back with the third season of his travel show Conan O\u2019Brien Must Go this week on HBO Max. So what better time to put your knowledge of the funnyman to the test?<\/p>\n
