   Joseph Nebus to All   
   3 January 2007 -- Placido Domingo, Patto   
   04 Jan 07 01:37:16   
   
   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.
