Monkeys are cool.
Of all the names one might consider for an iguana, why "Jub Jub"? During the fourth season of the series writer/producer Conan O'Brien (later of late night talk show fame) was sitting around with the other writers and trying to come up with an appropriate iguana moniker. Eventually, in a momentary pause in brainstorming, O'Brien blurted out the nonsense word "jubjub" to fill the silence, and the other writers decided that Jub Jub was a suitable name as by this time they just wanted to name the reptile and move on to something else.
Despite his limited screen time, there is actually a licensed Jub Jub action figure. He comes packaged with the Selma figurine as an accessory.

I love it when she sings "You Make Me Feel Like a Natural Wo-maaan" to him at the end...
