   Joseph Nebus to All   
   22 December 2006 -- Carson Daly, Michell   
   02 Jan 07 11:58:07   
   
   From: nebusj-@-rpi-.edu   
      
   Conologue:   
   	- Yeah, still not worked up about Donald Trump versus   
   Rosie O'Donnell.  Chuckle at identifying it as the ``least   
   creative feud ever''.   
      
   	- Fisher/price Digital Cameras: I knew a guy -- a   
   grown-up -- who bought a Barbie Digital Camera on the grounds it   
   was cheap.  He was disappointed by its resolution.  And, I   
   imagine, the way it made everything look pink.   
      
      
   Walkover Music:   
   	Here Comes Santa Claus   
      
      
   The Orange County Gingerbread Swimmers Get Into A Hot Tub:   
   	- I don't know whether I want Conan to do children's   
   programming or not.  Andy would have perfectly delivered ``Well,   
   they're dead.  Happy holidays!''   
      
      
   New Holiday Stamps:   
   	- Celebrity Snowmen: Nicole Richie's looked like a   
   character from 'A Bug's Life'.   
      
   	- George W Bush's Nicknames for Nonchristian Holidays:   
   What a convoluted start.  I liked Japanese 4th of July.  Weird   
   Circle-Bushes.   
      
   	- Rejected Elmo Toys: Sick.  Funny.   
      
   	- Least Popular Christmas Wrapping: Cheney Claus was the   
   funny one.  Naked Jon Lovitz on Reindeer was too busy a setup.   
      
   	- Jesus Getting Another Year Older: Suppose they were   
   drawn by Rob Smigel's TV Funhouse guys?  They looked like that.   
      
   	- Shameful Secrets of Popular Christmas Carols:  They   
   should've gone out on Jesus Getting Another Year Older.   
      
      
      
   Classic Holiday Specials:   
   	- A bad note?  Why don't we get to hear those things?   
      
   	- A Charlie Brown Christmas: 1965 isn't quite the right   
   year for Nixon-slogging, though it should have been, and should   
   be done as much as possible.   
      
   	- The Year Without A Santa Claus: Nicely done, yes.   
      
   	- It's A Wonderful Life: It's a surprisingly harrowing   
   movie, in truth.  People forget.  Little exaggeration needed.   
      
      
   Carson Daly:   
   	- Wow, he still exists?  I thought the celebrity   
   ecosystem took care of problems like this.   
      
   	- I suppose it's neat to bicycle the Pacific Coast   
   Highway.  Isn't it possible, though, to bike ride in something   
   not embarrassing?  I guess there just isn't much chance to wear   
   spandex in decent society.  The notion of talk show hosts   
   pitching in to keep easy celebrities safe isn't an unamusing one,   
   though I was intrigued by Conan's mention that he'd do without   
   the jokes if he could.   
      
   	- He may be the first person excited to be on MSNBC.  OK,   
   Carson had a good quip about being on at the ball drop.   
      
   	- I have absolutely no desire to be at Times Square for   
   the New Years Celebrations; I can't figure people who want to go,   
   when there's the options to instead be in places that are warm,   
   are not being snowed or rained on, where you can take a bathroom   
   break between 5 pm and 1 am, and where you're not packed against   
   strangers.   
      
   	- You know, he's living in a sitcom premise.  He was   
   dressed as a slice of pizza?  That's just weird.  Stick to   
   costumes as people.   
   	   
   	   
   Michelle Trachtenberg:   
   	- Hey, yeah, I thought she'd been on before.  I forgot   
   the penis cake ... it only sort-of sounds like something they   
   might have done.  No clip?   
      
   	- I'm not surprised Conan watches House.  Very odd but   
   somewhat amusing anecdote about Hugh Laurie.  I'd have been   
   distracted by Black Adder riffs.   
   	   
   	   
   Nellie McKay:   
   	- I'm certain she meant to sound like that, but I didn't   
   find it as funny as I think she meant it to be.   
      
   	- The closing theme sounds good with the flute addition.
