   	This was a rerun of the 29 June 2006 episode, again one that I   
   happened to see and very briefly reviewed, although again that didn't   
   appear so I might as well reprint it here.   
      
      
           Conologue: Bush joke was routine.  Star Jones: routine, but   
   helped with the waddle.  World Cup Soccer joke, again, routine.  The   
   tooth-growing joke had a better punchline than I expected.   
      
           The gift of the shuttle patch: Hey, neat.  Steve Wilson looked   
   ready to be an action movie's villain.   
      
           World Cup Mascots: I'm tired of jokes about the Surrendering   
   French.  It's bad history to start with, and really tired.  The horn   
   player was stronger for its surprising oddness value.  The Togo Child   
   To Be Adopted By Angelina Jolie was funny, and adding the phone call to   
   the end added a funny bit of meanness to it.  Death Trying To Assemble   
   A Chair From Ikea was cute, although I never found Ikea stuff hard to   
   assemble.   
      
           Orlando Bloom: I couldn't much get into the World Cup talk; I   
   think I've had enough conversations about how every other country loves   
   soccer and the US just doesn't care.  Getting into acting class talk,   
   that's more personal and unique, and I think we can all imagine what   
   it'd be like going back to that class, even if we've got absolutely no   
   useful acting skills.  The Pirates movie looks fine, although the first   
   one felt like it was merged with its own sequel.  Overall I was a bit   
   distracted since my brother Ted wanted to chat with me.   
      
           Campbell Brown: Interesting comments about hanging out with   
   'President' Bush.  It's fascinating seeing the quirky human sides of   
   people known only by the image they project, but it also raises the   
   question: presidents and vice-presidents are invariably described as   
   being warmer and funnier than their public images.  Why don't they show   
   that side of themselves?  The talk about getting stylish, or feigning   
   style, was also good.  Real news people usually have the knack for being   
   interesting whatever they're talking about.  Conan didn't own a suit:   
   funny.  Sounds true.   
      
           Cheap Trick: Energetic song, with really distractingly active   
   background.  I wondered if it'd wake up my dad.  The picture's a great   
   touch, but the Conan figure there could just as easily be Jay Leno.   
   And again they have the closing credits right from the last sketch.
