It's not easy being a pale, freckled, redheaded talk-show host with a receding pompadour. But Conan O'Brien has somehow turned pasty into cool. He jokes about his freakishly bouffant hairdo, his equally odd long legs and his near translucent skin tone — he and comedian Jim Gaffigan even have a cartoon superhero duo in Pale Force — in a way that's both humble and hilarious. We've missed Conan and his crazy antics, but on Nov. 8 he returns to late-night television with his new TBS show, Conan.
