   Joseph Nebus to All   
   10 January - David Arquette, Lonny Ross,   
   11 Jan 07 01:52:31   
   
   From: nebusj-@-rpi-.edu   
      
   Max is:   
   	- Odd.   
      
      
   Conologue:   
   	- Conan's audience saw Bush's speech.  It was from the   
   White House Library, ``My books on tape room.''  He's listening   
   to James and the Giant Peach, read by James Earl Jones.  As will   
   often happen his rambling after the mediocre joke was stronger   
   than the actual Conologue joke.   
      
   	- Bush called Daniel Ortega to congratulate him on the   
   election.  Told Ortega he loves his taco shells.   
      
   	- Arnold S. wants to spend billions rebuilding   
   California's infrastructure.  Great except for his trying to say   
   infrastructure for 45 minutes.   
      
   	- Britain plans to send a British person to the Moon.   
   They have to figure how to dehydrate meat pudding.  Conan's soul   
   drifted away.  Very little audience approval.   
      
   	- The company making Taser guns started selling them to   
   the general public, in the Accident Waiting To Happen Aisle.   
   With two bad jokes, he skips the next and goes to:   
      
   	- Yesterday (this gets applause) Britney Spears was   
   selected as 2006's worst-dressed celebrity.  Criticized for going   
   out every night wearing the same old vagina.   
   	   
      
   Walkover Music:   
   	- Sledge Hammer!   
      
      
   Johnny Vance is there from Sydney, Australia:   
   	- He looks like Dave Thomas (of SCTV).  They're on at   
   10:30 am there.  On every channel.  Conan goes a bit nutty.  But   
   the show's big.  Why is he dressed like a ninja?   
      
      
   New Characters for 2007:   
   	- Ronald Trump; the Suicidal Ant; Kevin Moriarty; Lindsay   
   Lohan's Appendix; The Carpet Sample Man Was Never Meant To See;   
   Keith Chutney.  Detailed consideration given in another thread.   
      
      
   David Arquette:   
   	- Ah, it's not my impression.  He did used to be on all   
   the time.  He's no longer so nuts now that he's married.  He's   
   given up his tapestries of naked ladies with animals.  Also   
   vintage playbooks.  In 'I Was A 50s Pinup' he found pictures of   
   his mother.  She was in a movie called 'Olga's House of Shame',   
   which was another story.   
      
   	- His sister Patricia got married, and they had to wear   
   kilts.  Conan thought he looked all right when he had to wear   
   one.  David didn't like it, as he doesn't like his legs.   He   
   shows his calves, which are kind of ugly.  Conan's calves are   
   nice and smooth, and the color of white margarine.   
      
   	- His movie coming out April 20 is about hippies who meet   
   a guy obsessed with Ronald Reagan.  Johnny Vance knew.   
      
   	- He's started chasing paparazzi to take their pictures.   
      
      
   A Guy in the Audience finds every Guest for tomorrow Guest-Tastic.   
   	- He doesn't like the monologue, and reads about gum   
   disease instead of the comedy bits.  They're terri-tastic.   
      
      
   Lonny Ross:   
   	- Meeting people you've done impressions of: awkward?  He   
   met Ray Romano, and had trouble resisting slipping into that   
   impersonation.   
      
   	- He was an intern at Late Night years ago.  He had a lot   
   of great moments, he says now.  A few days into his internship he   
   was sent to porn shops for a specific porn video.  Why?  He   
   doesn't know.  Conan can't figure why they would have wanted   
   that.   
      
   	- Big difference getting actually paid for working now:   
   he has to take sexual harassment seminars.  Not to learn how.  He   
   doesn't envy the person who has to give that speech to comic   
   actors like Tracy Morgan.  Morgan asks, if he wants sex, is   
   wearing sweatpants, and gets an erection, is it sexual   
   harassment?   
      
      
   Chuck `The Iceman' Liddell:   
   	- Ultimate fighting involves fighting with lots of   
   things, though not fire extinguishers or mailboxes.  There's a   
   lot of boxing in very rapid succession; the referees seem able to   
   stop things before they go too far.  Conan practices his   
   scary/annoying boxing.  Picking out a good nickname is   
   troublesome.   
      
   	- Trash talking doesn't really get to him.  But they're   
   not allowed to cuss.   
      
   	- The sport used to have very few rules; they're gaining,   
   like rules against eye-gouging, and strikes the groin are frowned   
   upon.  No finger in any of your opponent's orifices.   
      
   	- Conan asks for advice on defending himself, but I had   
   to turn the TV down because my Dad insisted the TV was waking him   
   up what with it being as loud as the heating system.  The Iceman   
   broke a finger, though.
