   Joseph Nebus to All   
   16 January 2007 - Tracy Morgan, Jim Gaff   
   17 Jan 07 01:46:30   
   
   From: nebusj-@-rpi-.edu   
      
   Max is:   
   	- Speaking in a pretty long sentence.   
      
      
   Conologue:   
   	- Tom Tankreido is forming a committe on running for   
   president, with himself as the member.  American Idol begins its   
   sixth season; Paula Abdul remembers three of them.  People in the   
   US believe in evolution less than any other industrialized   
   country.  Why not?  Kevin Federline.  A swimsuit for Muslim women   
   was introduced, the burquini, a stylish, water-safe burqa.  It's   
   perfect for the Muslim woman who loves to swim but hates being   
   stoned to death.  At the Pittsburgh Zoo a polar bear got a root   
   canal.  Zoo officials describe the bear as stable and the dentist   
   as handless.  Amsterdam's red light district will dedicate a   
   bronze statue to prostitues around the world.  It will be built   
   next to the Tomb of the Unknown Pimp.   
      
      
   Walkover Music:   
   	- Max only knows four seconds of any walkover songs   
   anymore.   
      
      
   Late Night Los Angeles Galaxy Small Talk Moment:   
   	- Max thinks it's a blunder.  Apparently the writers were   
   watching the reruns of the Chicago Shows.  Conan didn't   
   understand a word of it.  Mentions, man, is soccer a bad sport.   
   Right now people are writing angry letters -- with their feet.   
      
      
   The Slipnutz:   
   	- Really?  Again?  But that wasn't the old Slipnutz   
   footage.  Conan wants to know the difference this time; they went   
   back to polyester sweaters instead of the cotton-blend ones.   
   They're already on top of the music business.  There's a tribute   
   album.  Steve Winwood, Patti Smith, Coldplay, Los Lobos, Jhn   
   Mayer.  All right, that makes sense for it being there.  Four   
   payments of $63.99.  Proceeds to the Slipnutz for food, shelter,   
   and alimony.  I wonder when they got the idea to get musical   
   guests to do covers and put together this sketch; that's one of   
   the longer-term planned ones they've had.   
      
      
   The New Secretary-General of the United Nations is Here:   
   	- And now he's gone again.  Max recognized him, though.   
   He's known Ban Ki-Moon since the mid-70s.  That wasn't him; it   
   was an actor to make a fool out of Max.  If you're a bandleader   
   on a late night talk show and someone asks if you recognize the   
   new Secretary-General of the United Nations, tell the truth.   
   You'll be glad you did.  The more you know ...   
      
      
      
   Tracey Morgan:   
   	- He likes working with Alec Daldwin.  Does he compare   
   with Brad Pitt?  His shirt sparkles 'like it's made of candy'.   
   He means to wear it to the strip club.  Success hasn't changed   
   him in that he still eats beans and franks.  But a woman asked   
   him for $1,080 for rent; he said she should have sex with her   
   landlord.  His wife wasn't happy when the pregnancy test came out   
   positive.  He had his first sexual activity when he was eleven,   
   with someone he thinks her name was Peaches.  Conan's still   
   getting over that.   
      
   	- His family gave Conan a nickname, Caligula, as in the   
   insane Roman emperor.  It's becaus he talks about science fiction   
   all the time, and somehow this gets to Darth Vader being a black   
   dude who drove a truck from Buford, Arizona.  An 18-wheeler.   
   Calling Darth Vader DV, and borrowing money ... Conan can't keep   
   a straight face.  Morgan just wanted to talk about Darth Vader.   
   Conan wants a transcript of the interview for study, which would   
   be a good idea.   
      
      
      
   Jim Gaffigan:   
   	- 'Oh, he's pudgy, he looks like Lou Dobbs.'  It's hard   
   to find time to work out when you really don't want to.  Workout   
   clothes are comfortable to watch clothes in.  Membership cards   
   are scary for gym clubs; it implies people were sneaking in to   
   work out, like sneaking in to The Gap to fold sweaters.  People   
   act cool on escalators despite their inner joy.  Silly people who   
   walk up the escalators.  Silly people who use the stairs next to   
   the escalators.  But the escalator armrest doesn't move at the   
   same speed.  Why do we stop talking on elevators?  Do you like   
   cake?   
      
      
      
   Pale Force:   
   	- Conan's had problems with how he was portrayed.  But he   
   only does the writing, directing, voicing, producing ... it's not   
   up to Jim.   
      
   	- Pale Force: The Movie, Part I.  They've interviewed   
   Hollywood and Bollywood for the right Conan: Dakota Fanning.   
   Jim Gaffigan has to kiss Beyonce, at Penny Marshall's direction.   
   Marshall thinks Conan is Molly Ringwald.   
      
   	- Conan in this sounds like Mister Bill.  NBC Chief   
   Overlord Jeff Zucker sounds like Simon Bar-Sinister.  The guard   
   looks vaguely like Andy Richter.   
      
   	- Conan has to start looking at these before the show.   
      
      
   Sparta:   
   	- From 'Threes': I couldn't figure out the title.
