In Murderville, big-city police detective Terry Seattle (Will Arnett) has to solve a case in each episode, but because, as his chief/ex-wife Rhonda Jenkins-Seattle (Haneefah Wood) tells him, he can’t seem to hold on to a partner, he gets a new “trainee” for every case. The trainee is a different celebrity playing his or herself, and they don’t have a script. In fact, they have no idea what the case is or what they’re supposed to do, but by the end of the episode, they have to guess who the murderer is. Conan O’Brien is the first trainee, and he gamely participates. They’re called on a case where magician Captivating Keith (DeMorge Brown) kills his assistant when he accidentally sawed her in half when someone switched out his trick saw for a real one. Seattle leaves Conan to answer some very pointed questions about death from a little girl who was in attendance, then it’s time to question the suspects. First there’s Keith’s old assistant, Deb Melton (Alison Becker), who works as a waitress. She breaks down about losing her gig while Conan questions her. Then, at a gathering of all the suspects, Conan – dressed in a magician’s cape and top hat, for some reason – guesses who is the killer.
