The meaning of "American" in various phrases and sentences
Q:
Что значит American comedian Conan o’brien said on his show “Our fans try to make chump meat out of the maestro”?
A:
It means our fans try to best/outdo/show up/beat/humiliate the master. (maestro is master/teacher in Spanish)
To make chump meat out of someone isn't a very common phrasing, but the word chump means "loser" and the phrase as a whole basically means to show someone up. I believe this is in reference to Conan's bit on fan submitted corrections in which he humorously denies the corrections and proves that he is the "maestro" and is never wrong.

I'd like to know what they want to know by asking "What's going on?". How can I answer in such a situation.

It's just a casual way of asking you in general what you are doing, how your life is going or how you feel. You don't have to give a specific answer. You can answer "nothing much" or tell them what you are doing at that moment. If you are on the computer reading emails and someone asks "what's going on?" say "nothing much, just reading emails." It's casual, don't think too hard about your response because they aren't expecting a serious response.
