The painting was brilliant. The painting was genius. The painting makes up
for all. I want the painting. I would easily buy a poster of the painting,
even if I had to buy it in the NBC store for $50. Is there any way Late
Night can make that painting comercially available? I'd seriously love it for
the background wallpaper on my Windows desktop.

The painting rocks.

I still can't believe that Leno has any viewers at all. Even the studio
audience is asleep during his monolongs (not a typo).

Anyhoo, the Hanks interview was great. He seemed excited to be there, and the
painting was hilarious. But I still think that Conan dumping snow on Tom and
presenting him with the skeleton of Hooch was funnier.

Totally agree about Jay Lamo getting too much promo
and Conan not getting enough. Conan clearly has the
superior show but Lamo licks more NBC executive ass.

Tuesday's show was pretty good. The comedy bits weren't
awesomely funny but they didn't suck big time.
Tom Hanks so far has a huge lead for best guest of the week.
I'm not a baseball fan so didn't care much for the Ted Williams
retrospective. It was clear that Conan was thrilled to talk to the
guy, so that's sometimes enough.
And Conan was wearing a grey suit.

Conan presented to Tom Hanks a painting the show had comissioned honoring
Hank's interest in both the Space Program and World War II. The painting
depicted Astronauts in space suits storming the beach at Normandy on D-Day.
There were dozens of them firing machine guns, throwing granades, crawling up
the beach on their belly, ect. and several LEMs (the lunar landing vehicle)
landing along the shoreline depositing more astronauts. It was totally
frickin' weird, and really cool
