   Joseph Nebus to All   
   3 April 2007 - Rosario Dawson, Jason Sud   
   05 Apr 07 00:15:29   
   
   From: nebusj-@-rpi-.edu   
      
   Max is:   
   	- Giving the most normal exchange they've ever had on the show.   
   That ruined it.   
      
      
   Conologue:   
   	- Bush had a press conference; he was asked if he knew the   
   current price of a gallon of gas, and got it to within a few pennies.   
   Not surprising, as he spends most of the day watching The Price Is   
   Right.  Candidates are announcing fundraising totals; Mitt Romney has   
   raised $23 million, Rudy Giuliani has raised $15 million; Tom Tankredo   
   raised two children.  Dancing with the Stars is on; Joey Fatone danced   
   to the theme from Star Wars, proving there is something more   
   embarrassing than being in N'Sync.  Shots were fired at a Nickelodeon   
   Kids Choice Awards party.  Police say they'll apprehend whoever was   
   involved and give them a time-out.  In New Jersey firemen had to use a   
   crane to remove a 700-pound woman from her house.  She's doing fine, but   
   the crane is in critical condition.  American Idol fans have started   
   calling Sanjaya's hair a pony-hawk, as a cross between mohawk and a   
   ponytail.  Tgey also call Ryan Seacrest something that's a cross between   
   a douche and a bag.  University of Florida won back-to-back NCAA   
   championships; once again, they're going wild in Florida.   
      
      
   Walkover Music: Ray Charles's Mess Around:   
   	- Conan thought it was Dreidel, Dreidel, Dreidel.   
      
      
   Passover Started:   
   	- Did Max's family have a nice seder?  Did they observe the   
   usual traditions?  Say their prayers of atonement?  Child lighting the   
   candles of Abraham?  Singing the hakish mul?  So Passover's important?   
   None of them are Passover traditions, and he doesn't think 'hakish mul'   
   even means anything.  Is he even Jewish?  It's a stage name: he's really   
   Mike Wayne of Chappaqua, New York.   
      
      
   Late Night Reject Characters:   
   	- They're being aired just for a tax deduction.   
   	   
   	- The Embarrassing Bowling Accident.   
   	   
   	- Knights With Armor Made From 2004 Presidential Campaign   
   Buttons.   
   	   
   	- S & M Lincoln, who *has* been on before.   
   	   
   	- Lobster Jerry Lee Lewis.  Note that it's red before being   
   cooked.   
   	   
   	- Wind Chimes Jacob Marley.   
   	   
   	- The Remorseful Fishhook.  It begs the fish's forgiveness.   
   	   
   	- The total deduction for the show: $789.00!   
      
      
      
   Rosario Dawson:   
   	- It's a cool aunt who knows how to do this shoulder-wiggle   
   thing.  She's on a Rolling Stone cover.  The photographer had this idea   
   for the pose ... maybe for years and years ... wasn't even a   
   photographer.   
   	   
   	- Do women enjoy being in a strip club?  She enjoys the   
   experience.  It's amazing to watch in another country, too, with   
   different taboos.  You can see in tropical places like Brazil or Hawaii   
   kids comfortable with their bodies.  Conan wants to have photos of him   
   doctored to show when he was young.  She remembers his little doll.   
   (``They shouldn't know about that, that was our little time together!'')   
      
   	   
   	- She's a fanatic for comic books, and has her own.  She's a   
   huge Trekkie.  She was with her sister and watched nothing but Law and   
   Order and Star Trek all weekend; she tried watching Battlestar Galactica   
   and got razzed that any good episode of it was done three years ago on   
   Trek.  She speaks only a little bit of Klingon.  Some of that Conan's   
   heard yelled at him on the street.  she just made some nerds extremely   
   happy.   
   	   
   	+ Her being a Trekkie is convenient.  I have her mixed up in my   
   namespace with the woman who played Bellanna Torres on Voyager.   
      
   	- They did incredible car stunts with a `death-proof' car, and   
   you can see they were real stunts.   
      
      
   Conan Hates My Homeland!   
   	- Tajikistan: congratulations, you're where Uzbekistanis go to   
   feel better about themselves.  (They're upset he can't say it right.)   
   	   
   	- Thailand: where you can have sex with a 14-year-old prostitute   
   if they're willing to come out of retirement.   
   	   
   	- Trinidad and Tobago: The Siegried and Roy of the lesser   
   Antilles.   
   	   
   	- Taiwan: Oh, wait, you're not a real country, you're China's   
   krunk.   
   	   
   	- Togo: You've got it all, and by 'it all' I mean risk of both   
   bacterial and protozoal diarrhea!   
      
      
   Jason Sudeikis:   
   	- Peyton Manning was host of Saturday Night Live a little bit   
   ago.  Conan remembers athletes as most fascinating hosts as they were   
   wholly out of their element.  As an actor, he was a great quarterback.   
   He got into it, though, the only problem was him getting to asking   
   people to quiet down when they were laughing too much at the show.   
   	   
   	- At Goodnight, Everybody, Conan's always fascinated watching   
   what cast members do under the credits.  Jason's done all the waving,   
   chatting, standing alone, that sort of thing.  He got in trouble for   
   'air drumming' in the background; he didn't know what he was doing.   
   That wasn't really Jason playing, that was Max.  He ruined it; so many   
   people at home thought Conan had invisible drums!   
   	   
   	- The A Holes ... started as a late-night writing session,   
   inspired by chewing gum obnoxiously.  He'd be a horrible guest.  'I hear   
   you got a book coming out,' 'Do you work out?'  'Yeah, a little,' 'I   
   know what that is,' 'What is it?' 'Phallic.'  But everyone likes it, and   
   everyone recognizes it -- they're not doing anyone specific, but   
   everybody has this image of where the jerks in their lives come from.   
      
      
   Martina McBride:   
   	- From 'Waking Up Laughing': I believe that it would be   
   something along the lines of 'God is Great', but this album is *not*   
   linked to by the Amazon.com link from the Trowbridge page.  Following it   
   leads me to 'Timeless', released in October 2005, and 'White Christmas',   
   October 2003, as the most recent releases.
