I ... honestly wasn't sure at the start of last night's show
whether it was a rerun or not, since the talk of catastrophic rains in
Los Angeles sounded awfully familiar. The Christmas talk made it more
clear, but it would have been more comforting if I were sure earlier.

But it was a nice touch having Andy call out the cute yet quite
written-by-photocopier Pouting Vampire bits for being something like the
tenth iteration and not even matching the weather we heard about earlier.

Another interesting item: unlike when they did the bit on Friday, this
time the cue cards Conan was being handed by the "caddy" were briefly
visible on camera. They did not contain the Tiger Woods jokes he was
telling -- they were jokes from previous monologues. (The first card
for the second Tiger Woods joke was the setup for the "town struck by
lightning 160 times in a year" joke from a few nights ago.)

Once again you've got better eyes, or at least a better TV set,
than I've got. I hadn't even noticed what was on the cards.
