   Conologue:   
   	- ``Harry Potter is Forty Years Old'' doesn't have quite   
   the punch they wanted.   
      
   	- Much more fun Conan rambling than telling his joke   
   about New Jersey.   
      
   	- You know, I missed the start of the whole Rosie   
   O'Donnel/Donald Trump feud, and I think I can miss the rest.  The   
   video toaster of her makeover was pretty good-looking, though.   
      
   	- ``That's how you calm a shark, is his belly.  Wait,   
   that's not true.  That's my brother.''   
      
      
   Walkover music:   
   	Walking in a Winter Wonderland.  I think they changed the   
   lyrics on this.   
      
      
   HornyManatee.com:   
   	The first time I saw this actually talked about on-show.   
   But, boy, first the blue network, now this.  Don't scritch the   
   manatee T-shirt.  The fan art is weird or distracting.  Rocket Me   
   Nowhere performs ``My Hopeless Manatee'', which probably will be   
   useful someday if we need a novelty manatee songs.  Pretty speedy   
   rearrangement of the band stuff, although it's also probably why   
   Conan went on at such length in his introduction.   
   	   
      
   Ewan McGregor:   
   	- Growing up to be Obi-Wan: I didn't know there was a   
   real George Lucas; I thought he was a convenient fiction like   
   Betty Crocker.  It would be a great moment to choose your own   
   real light sabre, though. I'd go for seeing Conan and Ewan   
   playing with their light sabre toys.   
      
   	- Getting into the talk about Ewan's brother made the   
   presence of the pre-interview noticeable.  How is 1,000 feet not   
   low-level?  I think you have to be higher than the tallest   
   building in the country to not be low-level anymore.   
      
      
   Pharmaceutical Makers of America:   
   	- Hey, they've used some of these medicines before.  In   
   fact, haven't they used the whole commercial before?  I remember   
   the ``side effects include mounting rage'' line.   
      
      
      
   Manny ``The Sharkman'' Puig:   
   	- He sounds like Father Guido Sarducci.  I know his line   
   about levitating the shark was meant to be a joke, but it really   
   didn't help avoid the impression that the entire thing is meant   
   to be a weird joke.  Why bother sharks?  On watching the whole   
   thing I'm still not confident that it isn't all a Father   
   Guido-type bit with a special effects/stunt diver crew.  ``if you   
   grab a girl by the shoulder blades she'll stand still''?  The   
   heck?   
   	   
   	   
   Jordana Spiro:   
   	- Well, didn't Conan have his own modest picture around   
   Times Square back when he was run on CNBC/America?  Getting into   
   whether she liked growing up in New York City was much more   
   natural.   
      
   	- The anecdote about her sister discovering the   
   difference between boys and girls ... well, yeah, that would   
   break Conan.  On to big families!  A girl Star Wars fan?  Having   
   the play Artoo ... yes, terrible, but amusing.  The mention of   
   trundle beds and getting to Conan's history side was a good play.   
      
   	- I wonder what the studio laugh was just before the   
   outro?
