   Joseph Nebus to All   
   17 May 2007 - Amy Poehler, Dave Annable,   
   18 May 07 16:30:21   
   
   From: nebusj-@-rpi-.edu   
      
   Amy Poehler:   
   	- They hung out with Will Arnett, her husband, in San   
   Francisco, and Conan had a romantic dinner with him.  Arnett   
   appreciates the roses, and says they'll have a secret show, just the   
   two of them, every few months.   
   	   
   	- There was an If They Mated done with them a few months ago;   
   it's kind of like Jay Leno's old ``Beyondo'' bit.  It's a reason for   
   birth control.  Looks more like Arnett.   
   	   
   	- She's an American Idol fan.  She's struck by how   
   contestants' faces, and how they look when one knows they've screwed   
   up ... or when they really killed.  With a good monologue joke Conan   
   swells up with pride.  Poehler enjoys the post-singing part, just   
   before they're judged.   
   	   
   	- Simon Cowell: she agrees with what he says when he says   
   something, but it doesn't look like he's always paying attention, just   
   saying, ``Yeah, I agree.''  She likes when people get cocky with   
   Cowell.  ``You're terrible.''  ``Well, you're just jealous because   
   you're not terrible.''   
   	   
   	- The Dog Whisperer.  She loves interviewing the dog owners.   
   ``AhIDunnoWhyMyDogIsSoHyper...''  It's fascinating.  Conan turns into   
   a blues singer to say, slowly, ``I don't know why my dog is so slow''   
   as played at 16 rpm.   
   	   
   	- You have to be high-status, getting off the elevator first.   
   It works for people too.  Conan's quite cruel that way in elevators.   
   ``I Go First, Sucker'', that'll be his celebrity autobiography.  It'll   
   sell two copies.   
   	   
   	- She's Snow White in the new Shrek movie.  She believes White   
   has a type-A personality, and imagines the bathroom is gross.  They   
   show her using her powers of singing to attack a castle.  The first   
   song is from Megan Hiltie (sp?), a professional singer; the second is   
   by her.  Led Zeppelin's tough to sing.  And then the lyrics are awful   
   and bizarre, and they go onto hobbits putting on shoes.   
   	   
   	- She's doing a movie with Tina Fey this summer.   
      
      
   Dave Annable:   
   	- Conan is very tall.  He grew up in Orange County, and a   
   woman loves the concept of oranges.  He moved to Hollywood, like Conan   
   did, to become a male model.  It was a huge adjustment.   
   	   
   	- Cool, though, is the weather.  He bought an '89 BMW   
   Convertible.  But he sings in the car, and is horrible.  In the heavy   
   traffic, people everywhere listen to how bad he sings.  Conan sings,   
   causing animals to stop mating.   
   	   
   	- Is he dating Sally Field?  It's just because they're on the   
   show together.  She plays his mother.  But he showed him mom the   
   magazine and said they were in love.  His mother cheered at being   
   Sally Field's mother-in-law.   
   	   
   	- Conan's tabloid stories are, like ``O'Brien Bad Tipper'' or   
   ``O'Brien Squints At Sun''.   
   	   
   	- He lost weight for a role, a war vet.  With man-boobs and   
   love handles this would be really embarrassing.  And what if he only   
   lost the love handles?  He just wants to have one ab, which is weird;   
   you want either none or the whole pack.  He wasn't successful; they   
   had to do custom light.   
   	   
   	- Conan heard makeup can give you a cut chest, and he'd be   
   very interested in that himself.  Annable thinks it's true, but asked.   
    The makeup guys said yeah, they can draw some legs on.   
   	   
   	- He was called for an NHL Celebrity Blog, and to be with the   
   Stanley Cup.  It's like the Pope.  He got a little too excited,   
   started making out ... he started to think of stories of where it's   
   been, like, every nudie bar on the planet, and ... it needs to be   
   boiled for a hundred years before anyone touches it again.  So if you   
   have a doctor here ... ``I have a disease ... I'll talk to Conan,   
   he'll fix it!''   
      
      
      
   M Ward:   
   	- From ``Postwar'', and joined by Neko Case, Kelly Hogan, and   
   Jim James from My Morning Jacket (?).  The titles on the Amazon link   
   don't strongly suggest which song it is; it is the sort of thing   
   pleasant to listen to on a dark, rainy afternoon while drinking tea   
   and wondering how you got to this point from where you were in high   
   school.
