   I just watched this episode after recording it on my PC. (I have an ATI TV   
   tuner card, although I haven't used it as much lately because my hard drive   
   is packed.) As many people have mentioned in this newsgroup and elsewhere,   
   Conan's ad-libbed bits are often the funniest parts of his show, and this   
   one was no exception. Joseph's extremely detailed episode recap caught most   
   of Conan's riffs, but there were two that he missed -- I'll attempt to   
   reproduce them here. (Sorry, it's second nature: whenever I see a blank, I   
   am tempted to fill it in.)   
      
   On 2007-02-21 1:40 a.m., Joseph Nebus verbated:   
   > Heather Graham:   
   At the end of Heather's segment, Conan asked her to introduce a clip from   
   her movie "Gray Matters." Here's how it went:   
      
   Heather: Tom Cavanaugh plays my brother, and we both fall in love with   
   Bridget. (To no one in particular:) And it's a feel-good movie. (Conan   
   laughs; Heather looks puzzled.) I don't know why I said that. It has   
   nothing to do with anything!   
      
   Conan: That's the chip the movie studio put in your brain. (Starts acting   
   it out:) "It's really good" (glazes eyes, changes voice, and turns head   
   stiffly) "and it's a feel-good movie." (Heather laughs convulsively.) "And   
   it's fun for all ages." (Goes back to normal Conan, looking befuddled:) I   
   don't know why I said that! (Again in forced voice:) "You should see it   
   four times." (Moves arms robotically like in his Al Gore impression.) "All   
   hail Disney!"   
      
   > Lewis Black:   
   > ...  Who had a   
   > nice Valentine's Day?  Heather had, because guys are sucking up to her.   
   > Christmas now goes to February 13, then it's Valentine's Day.  Heather   
   > points out girls wearing sexy lingerie is for them.  'What?'  'What?'   
      
   This last exchange contained another funny improvisation by Conan, although   
   I think it kept Black from finishing his joke. Here's how it unfolded:   
      
   Lewis (to Heather): Guys don't have good Valentine's Days. Christmas now   
   goes to February 13, then it's Valentine's Day.   
      
   Heather: But what about sexy lingerie? That's what the men get, right?   
      
   Lewis: Huh? Phsht! (Turns to Conan, incredulous.)   
      
   Conan: No one's giving us -- this is all backwards. No one's giving us sexy   
   lingerie.   
      
   Heather: You don't wear it. A girl wears the sexy lingerie for /you/.   
      
   Conan: What? At gunpoint -- if we have a /gun/, she'll put it on. (Points   
   finger to simulate a gun, starts play-acting.) (In male voice:) "You're   
   putting that on, NOW!" (In high-pitched womanly voice:) "Who are you?"   
   (Back to manly voice:) "I've got to get back to my wife."   
      
      
   Sometimes it bothers me that Conan interrupts and even upstages his guests   
   with his frequent comic interludes, but usually I don't mind. Conan, off   
   the cuff, is much more entertaining than the average guest's prepared   
   material. In this episode, for instance, Heather Graham would not have been   
   nearly as interesting without Conan's comedic takes on her stories. Lewis   
   Black can be hilarious on his own, so Conan wisely let him do his thing   
   until the end, when Heather seemed to catch Lewis off guard with her   
   lingerie remark, and Conan jumped in.
