    Best Guest:   
    	William Shatner.  Told you he would be.   
      
      
    Worst Guest:   
    	I *suppose* Dave Annable, but that's just a reflection of how   
   strong the guests this week were.  It wasn't   
      
      
    Best Night:   
    	Monday, on Shatner's performance, but this was a generally   
   insane week overall, and that's a fine thing.   
    	   
      
    Worst Night:   
    	Friday.  Again, not a bad show, just low-key compared to the   
   rest of the week, despite the rather catchy Desk Impound.  	   
      
      
    Best Sketch:   
   	The Desk Impounding.  I admit feeling faked out; when Conan   
   got up to straighten Steve Allen's picture I imagined that tilting the   
   picture back would tilt the camera, the way it works in cartoons.   
   Maybe if Ernie Kovac's picture had been tilted it would have been.   
   	   
      
    Worst Sketch:   
    	I discover on examining my notes that the Radio Ghost was   
   last week, I was just slow getting to recap that episode.  Given that,   
   I think the weakest would probably be either SAT analogies or stamps.   
   They were competently done, mind you, and they aren't quite as instant   
   a rerun as the Lullaby or Joe's Bar or Radio Ghost are, but they don't   
   reach for the jokes.  In The Year 2000 at least gets surreal.   
    	   
    	   
      
    Strongest Start, Weakest End:   
    	Visiting Michael Coleman to see if he's really sick.  Barging   
   in on the poor, presumably sick writer, was a great idea, but the   
   problem is, whether he's really sick or just faking he has to be   
   standing around not moving very hard and looking dazed, which means   
   Conan hasn't got much to respond to other than the strange placement   
   of a television set in Coleman's apartment, and if he attacks Coleman   
   too seriously then he come across as a bully.   
      
      
    Category I'm overlooking:   
    	You know, I don't know.
