List for May 4 - 7
JZA
get into the show and scream at Conan, "Let your hair grow! Stop getting
those drastic, too-short haircuts!" even if it means those nasty NBC
will drag me out of the studio.
Best Guest - Male:
Al Roker - well, duh, you knew I would choose him; He's funny and
personable and he almost makes me want to watch the 'Today Show'.
Best Guest - Female:
Christa Miller - this was a tough choice, Julianne Moore and Reese
Witherspoon were very good but I'm giving this to Christa because I
liked her stories, especially the nude beach one.
Worst Guest:
Louis CK - I hate to say it, but nothing he said was funny at all.
Conan was being extremely generous by laughing so much and ending the
interview by saying 'Hilarious as always'.
Best Linguistics Lesson:
Bostonian for odd 'ahd'
Best Monologue Joke:
RE: John Bobbitt being arrested for shoplifting and stating he forgot to
pay, "I'd forget my penis if it wasn't sewn on."
Conan's Best Impression:
Him in a bumper car driving around Manhattan.
The 'Disgusting If True' Award:
After owning a car for a year, stated Conan, you can throw up in the
back seat and leave it.
Clinton's Best Line:
Re: sending Richard Gere to Macedonia, "It was my mistake, I sent Gere,
I meant to send Gore. It gets worse - Gore's in L.A. starring in
'Primal Fear II' and playing with a bunch of gerbils."
Best Guest Line #1:
RE: the 'amazing video' commercial in which a guy gets his head stuck up
an elephant's posterior, and Conan's expressed desire to get somthing
like that on 'Late Night', Al turned to Andy and said, "Andy, guess
what? We have a rhino backstage.
Best Audience Participation Event:
"Where in the World is [huah] Matt Lauer?"
The 'Almost Deja Vu' Award:
The audience member who knew everything about Conan at first seemed very
similar to a Letterman bit in which a fan could recite minute details
about Letterman and the 'Late Show', but fortunately, the audience
member turned out to be God on a bad hair day.
Biggest Disappointment:
Louis CK - he used to be so funny.
Conan's Best Suit:
Wednesday's - black double-breasted suit, grey shirt, black and white
tie.
Conan's Worst Hair Day:
Wednesday - flat and too far off his face.
Question of the Week #3:
Who was the friend with the 2-year-old kid who, upon meeting Conan, told
him, "Go Away" and kept trying to get him out of there? My guess - Matt
Groening or one of the 'Simpsons' writers.
Best Picture in 'Celebrities, Inc.':
Hillary Clinton's 'Payback Productions' with Larry King under her desk.
Conan's Favorite 'Celebrity, Inc.' logo:
Britany Spears, "Countdown to Consent"
My Favorite 'Celebrity, Inc.' logo:
Al Roker, "The Forecast Calls For Fudge". Mmmmm, fudge.
Best Voice:
Aiden Quinn
Best Recycling:
Conan again showing 'pictures' of his relatives.
Best Case of Dyslexic Hearing:
Aiden Quinn, re: being attacked by midgies while filming.
Conan, "Attacked by midgets?"
Best Middle-of-the-Show Comedy Bit and Best Trailer:
The 'Star Wars New Characters' - especially Istermay Ockspay. My son
loved this and watched it over and over about 10 times.
Andy's Best Line #5:
After Conan and Christa Miller discussed their not kissing and being
repressed Catholics, Andy pointed out, "You're probably germophobic."
Best Connection Not Made:
Connecting how the Germans really like to get rid of their clothes and
walk around nude and Andy nude in the 'Today' show studio.
Best Scene in Al Bell's Upcoming Movie Featuring Conan:
The scene in which he strips to the waist and with a knife clenched in
his teeth, he jumps in the water, swims out to a boat and kills someone
just to get drinking water.
Joke I Thought Was Alot Funnier Than the Studio Audience Did:
Hugh Downs retiring, "I'm too old for '20/20' and too young for '60
Minutes'".
Biggest Lie:
Conan stating he and Andy walk around nude in the 'Late Night' offices.
Andy, I can believe would be doing that; Conan, no.
Best Slam:
During the 'Art Critique', Decay as a theme, "how something vibrant
and living is reduced to being lifeless and pathetic, which is also the
theme of this work..." The Chicago Bulls
Best Reason to Give a Hug of Condolence:
Your big fancy and expensive piece about Botticelli's Venus painting and
Andy pouring tobasco sauce on her and slurping her out, bombed with the
studio audience.
Worst Picture in the 'Art Critique':
The picture of Conan in skimpy red underwear/swimsuit. They could have
spent a little bit of time to make the head's size and lighting match
better with the body.
Best Ad Lib:
Re: Julianne Moore's rant about red-headed people dating seeming too
much like dating your brother, Conan wisecracked that he and his brother
were dating for a while until their dad.....
Andy's Best Line #6:
Re: The prop from ‘Boogie Nights' of the male anatomy, sitting in
Julianne Moore's jewelry box, "I hope you get robbed."
Best Trivia Question:
What was McLeod's first name?
Question of the Week #3:
How many of you remember ‘McLeod'?
Best Interview Topic:
Food - haggis, tea and chocolate, orange juice, Irish food and coffee
with hamburger in it.
Conan's Best Line:
During Jeremy and Ira's visit, Conan asked Ira if he was worried about
Jeremy turning into a 'pretentious jackass'.
Best Reason to Watch Next Year's Oscars:
To see if Jeremy wins the Best Short Film Award.
Best Sign of Maturity:
From Reese Witherspoon - Realizing that your obsession with a stinky old
rocker, who wears the same pants for three months, is embarrassing.
Most Letterman-esque Moment:
Re: Reese Witherspoon's comments about having to smile so much while
making 'Election' that her jaw got sore. Conan replied 'that happens to
talk shows too.'
Babbling That Ended Way Too Soon:
Conan, again about having to fake smiles, "...that happens to talk shows
to, sometimes we pretend...Let's talk about the people we have to
pretend about.. There's this guy...."
Best Guess on Who Conan Was Going to Name in the Above Sentence:
Mayor Rudy Guiliani, Suzanne Sommers, Bill Maher
One Guy Who Looks Real Good With No Hair:
Scott Dickers, editor at The Onion
Best Newspaper Headline:
'Betty Grable Appointed Head of US Army Special Masturbation Fantasy
Squadron'
Question of the Week #8:
Do you think the book 'Our dumb century' would include local newspaper
advertisments? There's a classic one from the Minneapolis paper about
25 years ago - a full page ad for a ware-house type store - and the big
headline at the top of the page read 'PUBIC SALE'.
If your interested I could tell you about the not-so-hidden 'Fuck You'
in an ad from a few years ago.
This Week's 'Damn You' Award:
Goes to my local NBC affliate, KARE, for doing something screwy and
causing the screen to black out during the 'Cable Channels' bit.
My Favorite 'Cable Channel':
Tie between 'A-Hole Ronald' and 'Lonely CHiPs' - the 'Puppets Resorting
to Cannabalism' was just too weird.
Conan's Best Line #5:
After Harvey Keitel told him about the pair of jeans hanging over one of
the stalls in the men's bathroom, Conan replied, "That's my changing
room."
The Line I Don't Quite Get:
Harvey Keitel, "You want to keep your eye on the donut and not the
hole."
Best Finish:
The 'look at the baby's feet' finishing with the bear taking the baby,
some whiskey and the skateboard.
Most Curious Statement #2:
Michael Rappaport, "I've been on the show 93, 94 times, get backstage,
gotta pee myself."
The 'Who Are You To Complain' Award:
Goes to Conan for dissing Michael Rappoport for driving a 91 Honda
Civic.
Question of the Week #8:
Michael Rappaport, re: his former landlord, " ...low-end, low-life,
scum, _______...."
Another good reason to be in the studio audience. You get to hear these
things before the censors bleep them out.

not to mention that he's congratulated my local affiliate for the highest

i liked Conan's line after that... i can't recall precisely what the words
were, but it was something like 'you're like a deranged camp counselor.'
on a semi-related note... the counselors actually do something like that at
the camp that i counsel for. "(fill in name here), how do you feel?" "i feel
good, oh i feel so good *huh* oh i feel so, oh i feel so, oh i feel so good
*huh**huh*"
well, that gives you a twisted look into how i spend part of my summer...

my affiliate did the same thing, oddly enough.. i don't think i really missed
much of anything, but the screen went black for a bit, and they started
playing a "Mr. Food" commercial.. thankfully, they went back to the show...
somewhere in the middle of the people sittling on desserts thinger.. don't
know the name of the channel.

i don't really get it either... but it's fun to take out of context.

It sounded like he said scum-bug and they cut out the 'bag' but that is
krazy with a k because who cares about scumbag. They have Super Sac but cut
out what sounded like scumbag. Now, I'm fully aware that it probably wasn't
scumbag but that's what it sounded and looked like.

On a "raw bar," raw oysters are often eaten by pouring Tabasco sauce on
them and slurping them out of the shell. Andy was doing that with
something else found in a shell.
And CJ Wallis said, about Michael Rappaport:
>It sounded like he said scum-bug and they cut out the 'bag' but that is

You can't say "scumbag" on NBC because the censors have it in their heads
that it's an extremely vulgar synonym for "used condom." In the early
days of "SNL," the writers came up with "douchebag" as a substitute, and
the "SNL" and "Late Night" writers still use it.
And, finally, Jean asked:

The entire contents of "Our Dumb Century" are as real as everything
featured in "Actual Items." There are quite a few newspaper
advertisements in it, but they're all on the front pages from the early
years of the century...because newspapers would often have ads on the
front page back then.

Sometimes I think about going back to NYC, get into the show and scream
at Conan, "Let your hair grow! Stop getting those drastic too-short
haircuts! Bring back the glorious towering pompadour!"
I need all the blessings I can get.

I've got a question for native New Yorkers. What's the deal with 'black
and white' cookies. Everyplace I went to in Manhattan had those cookies
up at the front counter. You never see those in Minnesota.

I don't know, Conan seems to enjoy talking to Hasselhoff. A while back
Pierce Brosnan was on the show. He didn't look like he wanted to be
there, but he had to promote his latest movie; and Conan had to try way
to hard to get through that interview and was simply pretending to want
to ask him the interview questions.

I was hoping some one would ask. Thanks.
Okay, this was maybe 20 or so years ago. A Sunday supplement ad for one
of the basic department stores (don't remember if it was Wards or Sears)
had a picture on one of the inside pages showing furniture for sale. On
the paneled wall behind the couch, in letters a few shades lighter than
the paneling itself, was the words 'Fuck you'. It was something most
people would not have seen if they had just glanced at the picture.
And obviously, many people at the store and at the printing place didn't
catch it. But once someone told you something was printed on the wall
in the ad, it really popped out.
Later, we found out the words were put there by a disgruntled employee.

I don't know, but when I was in New York for my internship interview w/ Conan etc.
I lived on those. I bought them cuz I am/was =( a huge Seinfeld fan and it was the

great!

This story was funny. I have a feeling that
Conan is very close to settling down. I repeat
this is only a feeling. In the last couple of
months Conan has been showing his fatherly side.
When he told that story about his friends two year
old, I just saw something there that made me
think, he's about to have a big change. So my
quetion would be........
In your opinion Is Conan about to go through the
change?

i don't think so... it is the closest thing they come at camp to having
something of a semi-sexual nature, (the *huh*s are accompanied by the arm
gesture thing that Roker did... and it's actually more of an *unh* sound,)
though. we make the campers do it too... it helps keep the upbeat mood, or so
goes the theory. oh, did i mention that it's generally yelled rather than just
spoken?

The Vanity Fair pics? The only time I know of that Conan was in Vanity
Fair was back in August of 1993. Are you talking about newer pictures?
What issue are you referring to? I really need to see these pictures,
you're making them sound kind of racy.

Aw thanks. I'm so stuffed. Went out to breakfast with my husband and

another big meal with my mother-in-law. And all during the day, a

such a fattening holiday.

they're in ohio too. I mean, it's just cheap oreos with one chocolte side and one
vanilla side. Like, you can get all-vanilla sandwich cookies, all chocolate, or
black and white.
Then again, at our restaurant we also serve cookies that we call black and whites
cuz they are just a flat cookie (as opposed to a sandwich cookie) that are
chocolate and vanilla swirrled (fuck, how to you spell swirled?). like, chocolate
and vanilla dough. uhm....they look like a pinwheel.
Not to be confused with pinwheel cookies.

Worst Guest:
Louis CK - I hate to say it, but nothing he said was funny at all.
Conan was being extremely generous by laughing so much and ending the
interview by saying 'Hilarious as always'.
Wow!I think Louis CK was very funny.He is one of my favorite Late Night
guests.But I had that exact impression that you give-Conan is just laughing
to be polite-when I saw the interview with Louis Anderson.
Anderson's jokes were not funny at all to me.But I liked him for saying to
Conan(at the end of the interview)
"you're a great host.You have the best show on TV."
Louis CK is probably the guest with the most appearances on Late Night,this
was his sixth time on the show since I started counting in February 1998.

the biggest grude against, going into this week. Dikkers, in the
early 90s, was responsible for an atrocity of a comic strip called
"Jim's Journal," about a guy named Jim, who had no detectable
personality, and his even blander friends, and the very crudely drawn
tales of his unremarkable, un-comedic, boring life. This thing got
lodged into the comic page of the daily paper at Rutgers, and
resisted all my (and many people's) efforts to get it thrown off,
including attempted physical intimidation of the editorial page
editor. (Which wasn't the right target, but he was cute when he was
surrounded.)
The paper's lame excuse for including it was that the sheer,
utter joylessness of the sorry affair was exactly what made it so
hilarious. Sorry, folks. I *got* that. I got it after the first
two or three strips, when it became clear it wasn't slow just because
it was Staring Up and Showing Us These New Folks. It was BORING.
Deliberately Bad is not inherently funny; it's just bad. That this
thing dragged on for five or more years before finally (as far as I
can determine) being slayed is even more inexcusible. This garbage
even made it into books, when first-rate material like Robotman,
On The Fastrack, and Ernie couldn't be found.
I admit "Our Dumb Century" is pretty nice, even though I've
only leafed through it in the bookstore. And the interview was fine.
But I'm still angry at Scott Dikkers, and I don't think that grudge
is going to be cured no matter how many Conan O'Brien appearances he
makes.

they're called Half Moon cookies, and their kwite good. 1 half is chocolate
and the other is vanilla. i doubt they're indigenous to New York City, 'cause
i used to buy them all the time when i was growing up in New Jersey.
so, perhaps they're an East Coast thing? probably not, but it's a nice
thought. :)
