      From: ddrewc@verizonSPAMBEGONE.net              I tried for a shorter and less detailed summary this time, but it still       took over an hour.              On 2007-03-14 1:31 a.m., Joseph Nebus verbated:       > I'm sorry, I'm still on short hours and poor connecting times;       > I hope you can fill in in my absense. I *hope* to be able to catch the       > episodes when I return home and can see my parents' Tivo, but can't be       > sure they won't have erased them either. So, if you please, do fill in       > matters and I can try following up when I can.       >       > Incidentally, Andy Richter was on the Tonight Show tonight; he'll       > be on Late Night tomorrow. He's looking really good and was, of course,       > very funny.       >       >       > Max is:        - Incredibly pompous. (In response to Conan's ``Nice to see you,''       he says ``Yes.'')       >       >       > Conologue:        - President Bush was in Mexico today, and he met with Mexican       President Calderon to talk immigration issues. Unfortunately, discussions       were cut short when during the meeting Calderon emigrated to California.               - While in Mexico, President Bush visited the ruins of an ancient       Mayan city. There was an awkward moment when Bush said, ``We will get the       evildoers who did this.''               - The website Myspace has announced that they will launch their own       news service. The service will feature hard-hitting stories like ``Why is       Stacey Being Such a Bitch?''               - The Vatican will have their own television network. Officials say       the Vatican network will show Sunday masses, debates on Catholic dogma and       "Seinfeld" reruns in Latin. (Conan: ``Domine, yadda yadda yadda.'')               - Court TV announced that they are going to give Star Jones a new       TV show, and that they're changing the name, Court TV. In honor of Star       Jones, the new name will be the Food Court Network.               - She's fine now, but the other day in Queens, a 101-year-old woman       was mugged and had her purse stolen. The 101-year-old woman said she was so       scared that she /didn't/ wet herself.               - A male contestant from this year's "American Idol" has been       accused of trying to force oral sex on a male employee of "American Idol."       Which is really a shame, 'cause everything would have been fine if he had       just asked Ryan Seacrest nicely.               - Conan: ``All right then, we've alienated 11 people. The Pope and       the more powerful Ryan Seacrest.''              >       >       > Comedy Bits:        - Conan is growing his sideburns (he calls them "choppers") nice       and long. He wants to grow them all the way down until they meet underneath       his chin, come back up and make new eyebrows.               - Interview with Pierre Bernard: Conan wanted to shoot a remote       segment at Pierre's house because Pierre keeps a world-class collection of       action figures and collectibles in his home. But Pierre said no. Conan was       concerned and decided to have a ``completely unscripted and unrehearsed''       talk with Pierre, Dateline-style. Conan thinks the only explanation for       Pierre's refusal to let cameras into his home is that Pierre is a serial       killer. Conan asks a bunch of questions, and Pierre gives mostly innocent       answers, but Conan twists the answers to suggest that Pierre has psychotic       tendencies. Conan's questions grow ridiculously manipulative. (Conan:       ``Would it be okay if I came to your house, went into the basement, and       tore up the floor with jackhammers? ... You seem pretty nervous.'')       Finally, Pierre walks out of the interview, but only after Conan threatens       to fire him if he doesn't.              >       >       > Chris Rock:        - Jokes that some crazy black guy tried to kill him backstage.       Feels like [bleep]. Thinks Conan's height makes him look like a Macy's       parade float.               - Riffs on Barack Obama:               - ``Everybody goes, `Is America ready for a black president?'       Well, I say, `You know, we just had a retarded one.' ''               - Al Sharpton won't endorse Obama: ``I heard Timbaland's not       gonna produce the new Willie Nelson album, either.''               - White people love Obama: ``I haven't seen a black man loved       like this since Sammy Davis Jr.''               - ``Klansmen are holding up their white daughters. `Please,       take her!' ''               - On Anna Nicole Smith's enduring news presence:               - ``James Brown died the same week. Godfather Of Soul, two       days. Anna Nicole Smith, two months.''               - ``She's the kind of plump only a black man could appreciate.       You know, white women don't even have to look at the scale. They know       they're gaining weight when too many brothers start hitting on them.''               - ``Did you see Anna Nicole's funeral? There was nothing but       brothers carrying her, nothing but crying, big black men carrying her. I       thought Jesse Jackson had died.''               - After the commercial break, Rock asks Max if he's in the Rock and       Roll Hall of Fame. Max says no -- he looked last night. Rock: ``What       happened? You bet on baseball?'' Conan will see to it that Max gets in.       They joke about obscure has-beens that got into the HoF ahead of Max (they       really didn't): Tone Loc, Funky Cold Medina, Young MC, Color Me Badd,       Bananarama.               - They talk about the title of Rock's new movie, "I Think I Love My       Wife." Does Rock daydream about other women? ``I daydream about Rosie       O'Donnell every single day.... It's just a movie. It's got nothing to do       with my real life. I love my wife. God bless. My wife's got a movie coming       out called "I Think These Are Your Kids." '' Did she get upset when she       learned the title? ``I sent her shopping, and it was all good after that.''               - It's his second movie as director. Does he like directing? He'd       rather get a good script with Matt Damon playing the lead. ``I can't wait       till the new "Bourne" -- you know, till he starts kicking ass without no       memory. You know, he lose his memory, but he don't forget how to kick ass.''              >       >       > Christopher Meloni:         - Is nervous because he's following Chris Rock. Last time, it was       Will Ferrell. Time before that, Adam Sandler. He's like the animal that       does the special tricks.               - Talks about his roles on "Law & Order" and "Harold & Kumar go to       White Castle." His prosthetic make-up in the latter took 4 1/2 hours to put on.               - He was in Shreveport, LA, recently, where a church bought up a       mall and moved in. The Burlington Coat Factory wouldn't move out, though.       Conan: ``These are very odd facts you're telling us... The peanut is       neither a pea nor a nut. It's a legume.''               - After doing close to 180 shows of "L&O: SVU," he has trouble       remembering episodes and people in them. An actor will bump into him on the       street and try to remind him of the episode they did together: ``The       episode called `Sin'... the one where the woman was raped...'' It's to no              [continued in next message]              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
