   	Another day of reruns that makes it convenient for me since then   
   I can just watch the show instead of trying to write summaries for every   
   line everywhere ...

   >Late Night Los Angeles Galaxy Small Talk Moment:

   >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.
