Conan has sole writing credits on 'New Kid on the Block' and 'Treehouse of Horror IV'. When O'Brien started writing at the Fox lot, he was extremely nervous and felt intimidated by the other writers. He was terrified that he would just embarrass himself, and may have had a point—for example, he did think it was the norm and expected to pitch characters in their voices, until he was informed that he was the only person who did that.
Maybe his first 10 minutes on the job was already an omen of how his presence would bring forth the surreal. He was left alone in his new office, but left after five minutes to get coffee. He heard a crash and hasted back to the office. There was a hole in the office window and a dead bird on the floor! The poor bird had flown through the glass, hit the far wall and broke its neck.
George Meyer walked in, looked at the bird and said: "Man, this is some kind of weird omen." Maybe it was the omen for the beginning of a surreal twist to The Simpsons.
