Audience participation bits questions


When I saw the outtakes episode a few weeks back, I noticed they were doing a rehearsal for the Name that Tune skit. Now in the rehearsal, the people they were interviewing were actually interns on the show.

Somewhat stupid question: In the actual filming of the show, the people picked to participate in the skits are regular audience members and not interns, correct? The interns are just placeholders for the audience during rehearsal?

Also, it's interesting how Conan obsessively carries his guitar around during rehearsal. I wonder if he just randomly breaks out into song in the process.

When Conan started to have rapport with the audience member during the rehearsal the director told him to save it for the show. I assume that means he'll be talking to that same person during the actual show and they wanted it to be spontaneous later so don't talk about it now.
