    In 1984 Conan would have been around 21 YO, while Candy, born Oct. 1950, around 33. Candy died in March of 1994 at the age of 43. You've got to give Conan a lot of credit for having, even back in 1984, the gumption to invite John Candy to the College. By 1984 Candy had already been on TV and in some movies including Stripes and Splash.
