===Gimmick episodes=== Other shows that were taped in the regular 6A studio were augmented by special gimmicks: A lot of high-concept gimmick episodes were done in the early years of the show, such as a 1995 show done entirely on a boat of the circle line or "Time Travel Week", four episodes from early 1996, where Conan and Andy (and the rest of the crew) "time-traveled" to a different point in time each night. Times and locations included [[American Civil War|The Civil War]], [[Ancient Greece]], The future, and The early '80s (featuring a cameo by [[David Letterman]] in the cold open, who occupied Conan's studio in 1983, cruelly brushing off Conan and Andy's attempt at explaining their presence in Letterman's dressing room by saying, "Why don't you two fellas go find a nice, warm place to screw yourselves? Security!"). In 1997, a special episode was taped in which the studio audience was composed solely of grade-school age children, primarily 5β10 years of age. Conan interacted with the children, encouraging them to laugh and cheer to keep away the boredom monster. The October 18, 2002 episode was re-shot entirely in [[Claymation|clay animation]] nearly seven months after its first airing, including the opening credits and commercial bumpers. The episode's originally broadcast soundtrack was retained while the visuals were reproduced to mirror the original footage in a small-scale reproduction of the studio 6A. On October 31, 2006, a similarly conceptualized [[Halloween]] episode was created from an episode which originally aired in May and featured [[Larry King]], among other guests. Using a process the show called "Skelevision", all the visuals were re-shot with a Halloween motif, with [[human skeleton]]s adorned with the clothing and accessories of the humans. This re-shoot was shot using the actual studio, and the puppeteers moved the skeletons with wires and cables while being visually obscured by [[Chroma key|green screen]] technology. Once again, the opening and bumpers were altered, this time including a model of a hearse winding through a foggy landscape and cemetery, and the voice of [[Bill Hader]] as [[Vincent Price]] in place of [[Joel Godard]].
