   8 June 2007 - Billy Connolly, Crowded Ho

   Billy Connolly:   
   	- He's big.  Usual Conan tininess talk.  Connolly's wife thought   
   he was small and insignificant.  He points out how high Conan's knee is.   
    He's Tommy Tune.   
   	   
   	- He has to watch his weight: he was in a beanbag chair and   
   couldn't get out.  He talks about age, hair changing to grey.  There's a   
   general decline -- did he say general or genital? -- and you switch on   
   your computer and the guy says your penis isn't big enough, how does the   
   guy know?  Television talks about erectile dysfunction, which suggests   
   the penis is erect but doing something other than its normal function,   
   washing dishes or fetching food off the table.   
   	   
   	- When you find a jeans pocket on his naked body ... he needs to   
   exercise more.  He wants his hold figure back.  Connolly's Scots-Irish;   
   is it true they can't get pumped?  Scottish boxing champions, he says,   
   would look like they were from a wino's hospital.   
   	   
   	- You can exercise a lot, but you become boring, because of   
   talking about it.   
   	   
   	- He plays banjo and goes fishing.  He loves the shows about   
   that, and you can tape that and people give you money for it.  Conan   
   would love the gig, but it won't work.  He'll put Conan's name in.   
   ``Really?''  No question ... he looks down and away.   
   	   
   	- To be a zombie he had to act back, and do extra growling   
   recording afterward.  He didn't know how people could tell if someone   
   else growled; they told him he growls Scottish.  Conan tries growling;   
   they determine Schwarzenegger is almost a Scottish zombie.   
      
      
   Crowded House:   
   	- From ``Time On Earth'': I think it's ``Don't Stop Now''.
