   21 June 2007 - Summer Concert Series, Jo   
   23 Jun 07 13:20:07   
   
   From: nebusj-@-rpi-.edu   
      
   Summer Concert Series:   
   	- Today Show has outdoor concerts in the morning.  Bon Jovi   
   earlier this week.  Check it out; he's singing.  Why not Late Night?   
   	   
   	- Summer Concert Series: brought by Ortho fire ant killer.   
   Conan fits his eyes in the finger holes.  It's gonna rock!   
   	   
   	- The problem: they don't have a giant plaza, or much space.   
   So, next to the studio is this tiny hallway.  They've got several fans   
   in the hall, including sailors, with Lyle Lovett!   
   	   
   	- He sings a little bit.  ``I've been up so long on this lucky   
   star it could be all downhill from here.''  Good bit.   
   	   
      
      
   John Krasinski:   
   	- Conan advised him to try looking good this time.  The best   
   that Sears has to offer!  (Thank you for dressing up.)   
   	   
   	- He used to intern at Late Night.  The best thing about winning   
   an Emmy?  ``You listen to me now!''   
   	   
   	- He just made a movie with George Clooney, which doesn't make   
   sense.  The most he gets on the street is ``Jim!  How're you doing?''   
   Clooney, there was a woman driving an SUV as she opened the door, got   
   out, and began screaming ``George!'' while the car was in drive.  Four   
   cops grabbed her, pages leaped in the car to pull the emergency brake.   
   There was an infant in the back seat.   
   	   
   	- The military should use George Clooney.  ``It's the guy from   
   er!''   
   	   
   	- He gets recognized some, as The Office fans are cool.  In one   
   bar things felt weird; a woman came up to ask if he was on The Office.   
   She said she didn't watch it, and didn't care.  But Sarah really likes   
   it, so here's Sarah.  He was talking to Sarah, and then the first woman   
   stuck her fingers in Krasinski's throat.  ``Oh, I'm sorry, I just -- ''   
   and she walked away.  His friend and he went, nodded, took a right, and   
   he asked, ``Get a beer in the East Village?''  Yeah, that'd be all   
   right.   
   	   
   	- ``You know how everyone says your life is like a snow globe   
   when you're born until it cracks and you see what life is?  My snow   
   globe was thrown into fire and then eaten by sharks.''  I've never heard   
   anyone saying a thing like that.  Conan speculates on Sarah's friend's   
   motives, they wonder if non-celebrities would stab them and coat them in   
   mayonnaise.   
   	   
   	- He had nasty fights with his brothers growing up.  One brother   
   was surprised they all survived.  He doesn't strike often, but big.  A   
   brother showed a friend how he could beat up John (without looking); he   
   was playing G I Joe at the time, he was maybe twenty (he was eight).  He   
   planned to grab a toy and throw it at him; he thought it was a toy   
   truck.  It was a lawn dart.  He wiped off the dirt and threw it; it   
   stuck in his head.  ``Aah!  AAH!  AAAAAH!''   
   	   
   	- His father grabbed the dart out of his brother's head, and   
   pulled it out, and said, ``You see this?  It could have really hurt   
   somebody!''   
   	   
   	- He gave his brother the lawn dart on a plaque at his brother's   
   wedding rehearsal, with ``Remember this?''  They don't talk much   
   anymore.  He can't talk.  He wants to change the channel, but he can't.   
   (They say this in unison, suggesting there's a joke I'm not getting.)   
   	   
   	- They go into detail on Robin Williams's newest mawkish   
   sentimental unspeakably awful film about people without real emotions.
