“This job looks easy,” Norm Macdonald told Conan O’Brien, gesturing to O’Brien’s role behind the desk as host of Conan. “Do you have the chops to do it?” O’Brien asked Wednesday night. “I’ve been studying it like a Jesuit,” Macdonald said of the tasks required to host a late-night TV talk show — which he wants to do, even more so now that the expected job opening at The Late Late Show on CBS remains unfilled as of yet for 2015, after Craig Ferguson vacates it. “And I believe I could do it in one minute!” So O’Brien called...
