Why is present perfect tense used in this fragment (you've changed)? Can't I use just "you changed" instead? And when can I use the present perfect?
Present perfect is usually used to refer to an action or state that has occurred in the past and continues has an effect in the present. Ellen is stating her obligation to have the guests introduce themselves, as they "have changed" since the last time they were on her show. Simple past here would imply the action ended in the past and has no effect on the present. Ex. Her English has improved since she started using RedKiwi. Ex. She has been to Texas three times since last year.

Please explain the expression "into the production".
The term "production", as it is being used in this clip, same as the performance of entertainment. This can be a play, musical, opera or, as in this clip, a martial arts demonstration. Using "into (something)" is a very common way to express information about a part of a period of time. In this case, Conan is referring to the first 10 minutes of the entirety of this performance. So he is in (and has covered) those 10 minutes out of the total. Another way he could express this would be to say "after 10 minutes of the production". Ex: 20 minutes into the lecture and our professor still hadn't arrived. Ex: Only 1 hour into the journey I really needed to go to the bathroom.
