Or maybe, on a pop culture level, for his cameo as himself in the film &#8220;Traffic.&#8221; But 2009 will always be noted as the year that <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.beliefnet.com\/news\/2009\/12\/mormon-senator-pens-hanukkah-t.php\" target=\"_blank\">Hatch gave a holiday gift to the Jewish people<\/a>: a Hanukkah song called &#8220;Eight Days of Hanukkah.&#8221;While this story alone &#8211; a Mormon senator records a song for Hanukkah &#8211; is ripe for comedic treatment, &#8220;The Tonight Show with Conan O&#8217;Brien&#8221; show took it one step further: Max Weinberg, Conan&#8217;s &#8220;only Jew&#8221; (presumably this means &#8220;only on-screen cast member,&#8221; since at least one of the writers is Jewish), responded to Hatch with a &#8220;Christmas song for Mormons&#8221;:based on facts he learned on Wikipedia.
