its neither of those guys. he does mainly stuff that would suit the sort of bill hicks, george carlin realm though. he had one bit to do with being motivated to go to the gym but not going and such.

Not the guy you are after, but since you mentioned Hicks...

Heard Doug Stanhopes material before? It's sicker than Hicks' but in the same league of comedy. With the added bonus of the fact he is still around today!

This is so ridiculously vague! What colour hair does he have, is he black or white, how old does he seem to be, what nationality is he? I've tried a google search (with varying degrees of success) but I don't have enough information to figure out who you're looking for...

Don't know how much use any of this will be, but I felt obliged to try and help. Although I have to admit that I have never seen Late Night with Conan Obrien and have no idea about anything...BUT, if you are sure that he has been on that program then maybe we can snoop it out from there.

Wikipedia wrote:Members of the show's writing staff frequently appeared in sketches on the show. Among the most prolific were: Brian McCann (Preparation H Raymond, FedEx Pope, The Loser, Airsick Moth, Jerry Butters, Funhole Guy, Bulletproof Legs Guy, Adrian "Raisin" Foster, S&M Lincoln, etc.), Brian Stack (Hannigan the Traveling Salesman, Artie Kendall the Ghost Crooner, The Interrupter, Kilty McBagpipes, Fan-tastic Guy, Clive Clemmons, Frankenstein, Ira, Slipnut Brian, etc.), Jon Glaser (Segue Sam, Pubes, Wrist Hulk, Ahole Ronald, Gorton's Fisherman, Jeremy, Slipnut Jon, etc.), Kevin Dorff (Coked-up Werewolf, Jesus Christ, Mansy the half-man/half-pansy, Joe's Bartender, Todd the Tiny Guy, etc.), and Andy Blitz (Awful Ballgame Chanter, Vin Diesel's brother Leonard Diesel, Slipnut Andy, Chuck Aloo aka the star of the 24 spin-off series 60). Blitz went so far as to travel to India for one bit in which he carried his computer through the streets of India to get technical support firsthand from the telephone representative at NBC's technical help center. One of the show's graphic designers, Pierre Bernard was featured several sketches, such as: "Pierre Bernard's Recliner of Rage", and "Nerding It Up For Pierre"
