   Antonio Banderas:   
   	- Who, apparently, just rolled out of bed.  Come on, you're on   
   national TV, not at Red Lobster.   
   	   
   	- He just bought a house, to do more theater.  And there's   
   more community in New York City.  He loves New Yorkers, who scream at   
   him with love and other sentiments.   
   	   
   	- HIs wife, Melanie Griffith, was in a skiing accident.  You   
   name it, she broke it.  They put a piece of a cadaver in her leg; now,   
   he's sort of married to two people.   
   	   
   	- She's had a lot of physical therapy, from right away.  Right   
   back on skis.   
   	   
   	- There are 1600 knee operations in Aspen yearly; they don't   
   mention that in the tourism brochures.  9000 breast enlargements.  Now   
   her leg is stronger, though.   
   	   
   	- He was impoverished as a young actor; had a $100 house.  His   
   pockets were sewed inside, the way pockets used to be.   
   	   
   	- His first year in Madrid he lived in 11 different bad   
   motels; he didn't afford them, just got thrown out when he couldn't   
   pay.   
   	   
   	- He claims when younger he was awkward with women.  You know   
   this claim.  He found the female universe mysterious and otherworldly,   
   and was shy.  Look where he ended up.   
   	   
   	- He loves women, and bets the world would be better ruled by   
   women.  Not Margaret Thatcher, *female* women.  Even to be a woman   
   himself.  He's kidding, but rubbed Conan's leg.   
   	   
   	- To his early 40s Conan was regularly stunned by women, but   
   overcame it months ago.  Nice to hear other people claim to have been   
   the same way.  He used to flee women he liked.  Conan overcompensated,   
   hissing and being cutesy.   
   	   
   	- He has an apartment, Central Park West; he was going to buy   
   in the Dakota Building, but they rejected him.  It's kind of a spooky   
   building anyway.  Maybe it's because when he went to pay for the   
   apartment he took off his pants.   
   	   
   	- He loves playing Puss in Boots.  He thinks the movie is   
   based on contrasts.  And they capture his physicality, which Banderas   
   finds creepy.  They film his moves, so they can put body language in.   
      
      
   	[ Artie Kendall fit in here ]   
      
   Sarah Chalke:   
   	- She just got engaged.  Four guys walk out.   
   	   
   	- It was in Hawaii; they were on a beach alone at a beautiful   
   sunset, then birdwatchers came and sat right next to them.  The ring's   
   in a box of chocolate ... finally they left, and by that time it was   
   too dark to see each other.   
   	   
   	- It'll probably be next summer.  She's kind of disorganized.   
      
   	   
   	- Her character on Scrubs is wearing more risque clothing.   
   Whose idea was it?  She has a plant in the writers room to warn her   
   about upcoming bra scenes and such.   
   	   
   	- More stressful: her character had to do a topless photo, so   
   she went for a body double.  Conan wants a permanent body double.   
   	   
   	- She had assumed there'd be, you know, a boob book.  That's   
   not how it works.  They come to her, with 12 girls, who'll one at a   
   time show their tops and she picks a pair.  Conan can't think of a   
   more awkward scene.  She feels so bad for them.   
   	   
   	- The first comes out bragging about her $10,000 breasts, and   
   is a breast snob.  The next is nervous, and asks if she has to take   
   her shirt off.  She's so nice about it.  Conan would wear a monocle   
   and be so creepy.   
   	   
   	- She needed two hours instead of ten minutes; she felt like   
   she had to chat them up.  ``So, Booby, what's up?''  Another asserts   
   they're real and insists she wear them.  ``Bang, bang, bang.''   
   	   
   	- So who'd she choose?  This 19-year-old.   
   	   
   	- She wanted to be an athlete, but became a vegetarian when   
   she was 12 and was tiny.  Her sisters are, like 6'1''.  She tried for   
   everything, rehearsed in the pouring rain in Canada for basketball,   
   volleyball, everything.   
   	   
   	- She finally realized she needed the team nobody goes for, so   
   she was a race-walking champion.  It's not a well-covered Olympic   
   sport.  They yell ``go'' and people walk quickly.   
   	   
   	- Why does it look so strange?  There's rules.  You always   
   need to go your fastest, but have to have a foot on the ground.  It   
   makes you want to throw up.  You need three and three-quarters times   
   around; men and women compete separately, normally, but to get it out   
   of the way they're all tossed in at once.   
   	   
   	- The hips swingings are a side effect.  This has Conan   
   hypnotized.  Getting kicked out of race-walking?  I'm ruined!  Conan   
   tries this walk, and it's hard to take seriously.   
   		   
   	- Six years from now somebody's going to hit him in the nose   
   and escape walking that way.  He won't be able to catch them, except   
   when they stop to throw up.   
      
      
      
   Avett Brothers:   
   	- ``Emotionalism'': I *think* it's ``Paranoia in B Flat   
   Major'', but can't say for sure.  Very interesting physicality to the   
   performance, though, and have we seen a banjo on the show before?
