|    3 January 2007 -- Placido Domingo, Patto    |

      From: nebusj-@-rpi-.edu              Conologue:        - Arnold, Brittany Spears, regular stuff. Bush and the       bye-bye session. Doctor for the 67-year-old mother being       nauseous. Nothing too spectacular. Conan even admits the doctor       for the old woman joke is a rerun.               - Toyota's car that stops when the driver is drunk:       oncoming traffic. Fair, not quite sick enough somehow.               - The first Muslim Congressman, Thomas Jefferson's koran,       George Washington's torah: Yeah, I like that too.                     Late Night Year in Review:        - Chroma-key Bush talks about Imma-gay-tion. Arnold has       a car accident.               - Trump's wife named Milania. If he's told us one he's       told us 9/8 central times.               - Bush understands being in a strange place where they       don't speak words you understand. I expected he'd say 'The White       House' as his two words.               - Mauie Wowie, We Got Zakawrie, who nobody heard of       before he was dead.               - The camera adds fifty pounds. Isn't it ten pounds?       Not if you eat it.               - John Kerry tries to tell a joke. Rush Limbaugh insists       Michael J Fox acts like he has the symptoms of the disease he       has.               - Conan reassures Bush he still controls Fox News, at       least.               - Barbara Bush goes on about who knows what.                            Placido Domingo:        - He could have been named Turbulendo. They're filming       an opera so that people who aren't up to the night-at-the-opera       performance might be able to see it, except there's no tickets.       Opera singers actually know how to sing; Conan's voice is trapped       in the top of his throat. Placido offers Conan advice in       speaking. ``That sounds very Irish, yes.''               - Women ask Placido to sign their bodies, often arms. He       doesn't think you can sign other parts; Conan thinks he's missing       the point. He has the world's record for 101 curtain calls.       Placido doesn't know why it went on so long, and he finally just       went and sat in the orchestra pit and asked the audience to       leave. He now cuts audiences off around fifty.               - Conan hasn't had a Muppet made of him? You'd think       he'd be a natural. Placido Flamingo I haven't seen, but I       haven't followed the Muppets closely in recent years. The Muppet       tried teaching Placido how to sing.               - Asking whether it's easier to perform in a large or a       small crowd is a good question. I'm not surprised the larger       crowds can be easier to play for.                            Mark Pender's Sleep-Blowing:        - His sleep-blowing is big in Japan. (Well, what isn't?)        There's merchandising and everything. Good premise, but it       hasn't got a conclusion.                     Patton Oswald:        - He was part of the William Shatner roast. Did he       actually thing 'Physics for Poets' was an odd name for a       cross-discipline course? He had a word problem using an Original       Series setting, and got upset that it had Kirk telling Chekov to       fire phasers. However, Kirk *did* order Chekov to fire phasers       in 'Obsession', and to stand by his phasers and to hold his fire       in 'Journey to Babel'. (In this episode Chekov is even given the       conn when Kirk has to leave and he remembers Scotty's not in this       episode!) He also gets phasers ready in 'Patterns of Force'.       I bet Oswald also thinks Spock was the first Vulcan in Star Fleet.                            Moe:        - I missed the title of this piece. Enjoyable enough.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
