   Joseph Nebus to All   
   Review 27 December 2006 -- Rerun -- Sean

   	Conan in Chicago!  This was my first experience with the   
   Chicago episodes.  My goodness but that's a *huge* auditorium.   
      
      
   Conologue:   
   	- Land of milk and honey, covered with batter and cheese.   
    Sounds good.   
   	   
   	- Pretty standard set of loalization jokes.  I was   
   expecting after praising Chicago as a sports town that Conan   
   would mention it needing teams, which is something Conan could   
   get away with saying because, hey, Red Sox fan.  Yeah, I know   
   they 'won' in 2004, but that just means they're up for a repeat   
   in 2088.   
      
   	- I like showing off the worst seat in the house.   
   	   
   	- Boy, Chicagoans are way too into the Masturbating Bear.   
    	   
      
   Looking through the town:   
   	- I was expecting Andy Richter as tour guide.  The   
   introduction to the audio made it sound like we were hearing the   
   studio speakers; it was very echoy.   
   	   
   	- Mister T's funny going down the slide.  I liked seeing   
   them playing at being White Sox; funny having the tower broken.   
   	   
   	- Mister T was dressed as Dennis the Menace.  He's also a   
   little scary when he just starts aimlessly rambling about his   
   philosophy of life and all that.   
   	   
   	- Finding Mister T's bit in The Blues Brothers:   
   Excellent.   
      
      
   Late Night Chicago Small Talk Moment:   
   	- Shameless kissing up to the crowd, but successful at   
   that.   
   	   
      
   Wheel of Wendt:   
   	- Good challenges, but there's always the bit of   
   suspicion that there's a motor picking the item on a wheel like   
   that.  That it rolled to a stop with the 'DO ONE PUSHUP' neatly   
   level doesn't disperse suspicions.   
   	   
   	   
   Joel Godard after Film Locations:   
   	- Yes, I liked it.  It was stupid, but I liked it.   
      
      
   Sean Hayes:   
   	- Fancy entrance.  That gear worries me.   
   	   
   	- He was having a good time talking about playing the   
   keyboard, although it didn't hold my attention.  Talking about   
   grilling and picnics was more fun, though.   
   	   
   	- Making a spinoff of a show he wasn't in, nice concept,   
   but it turned into talk show host boilerplate.   
   	   
      
   Cheap Trick:   
   	Not my speed.  I couldn't make out any of the song.
