   22 May 2007 - Local Athletes, Lester Hol

   Local Professional Athletes Who Do Low Budget Commercials:   
   	- To tell us who's on tomorrow night.   
   	   
   	- What's not up are prices at Tubman's Chevrolet in   
   Bloomfield, New Jersey.  Puns on halfback and Earned Run Averages.  He   
   was an all-American at Duke ...   
   	   
   	- Coast to a stop behind an abandoned Taco Bell, which I think   
   they used in the fine-print crawl last time.   
      
      
      
   Lester Holt:   
   	- He's helped with sketches; Late Night ruins news careers.   
   They put Tom Brokaw in diapers and they got rid of him.   
   	   
   	- He started trying to be a rock DJ; started as a country and   
   western DJ at KRAK radio around 1978.  Midnight-to-six, all-night   
   trucking show.  They got a great big convoy trucking through the   
   night, which isn't quite how it went.  They dispute the lyrics.   
   	   
   	- One night they did a broadcast from a nightclub, and   
   introduced all the members of the radio station, getting up to Lester   
   Holt and, did you see Blazing Saddles when the sheriff comes to town?   
      
   	   
   	- There must be verbal gaffes.  He worked at MSNBC, then went   
   to filling in at the Today Show.  There's lots of good-mornings there.   
    ``Good morning Matt, good morning Katie, good morning America'' ...   
   luckily it was before YouTube and you could screw up and not have it   
   be watched forever.  Conan acts like a krunk constantly so there's   
   nothing to stick out and trusts this will keep him off YouTube.   
   	   
   	+ "Conan O'Brien" comes up with 1,720 hits on YouTube.  Don't   
   tell NBC Master Command.   
   	   
   	- While talking to Senator Gore he accidentally said ``Senator   
   Quayle'', and couldn't figure out why Holt was getting corrected.   
   Conan goes into android Gore impersonation.   
   	   
   	- He's got a bass guitar.  He likes jazz; sometimes plays   
   elsewhere.  He cut a CD with a band of TV celebrities.   
   	   
   	- What if he were the newsman who plays cool bass doing the   
   news?  He gives an example with Mike Merritt doing a cool bass.   
   	   
      
   Loudon Wainwright III:   
   	- Yup, the guy from M*A*S*H.  With ``Strange Weirdos'' as the   
   new album, songs written for or inspired by Knocked Up.  ``Daughter'',   
   I expect.  I shouldn't have to sell you on Loudon Wainwright.
