Wow, Conrad grew up in the depression, WW II, Korean War, Cold War, Ike, JFK, Watergate..and all this was BEFORE he was on Mork & Mindy. Then after it's run he saw so much of the world change even more, breakup of the Soviet Union, Internet, Kardashian, Kanye, decline of America.

I bet a HUGE deal for Conrad when he was growing up was a large radio with one knob on it!!!
