   Joseph Nebus to All   
   16 July 2007 - Christopher Walken, Tim M   
   17 Jul 07 23:39:05   
   
   From: nebusj-@-rpi-.edu   
      
   Christopher Walken:   
   	- He's in drag for some of the new Hairspray.  John Travolta   
   plays his wife.   
   	   
   	- He wouldn't wear a fatsuit so much; he'd use spaghetti and ice   
   cream.  He's really nine years old deep down, and thinks Conan is too.   
   Conan thinks he's six.  Many performers are children underneath.   
   	   
   	- Many think Walken's the best Saturday Night Live host ever.   
   He was in a Singapore restaurant and a guy and his lady recognized him,   
   saying the salad needs ``more cowbell'', which appears to be a   
   catchphrase of some kind.   
   	   
   	- He started in musical theater, and he did Annie Hall driving   
   into headlong traffic, then Deerhunter shooting himself, and he got a   
   thing for unwholesome stuff.   
   	   
   	- Walken dances a lot with his upper body.  He was trained as a   
   tap dancer.  So was Conan and he's not making that up, he thought you   
   had to know how to tap dance to be in show business.   
   	   
   	- His fans sometimes write him and ask for money.  Like,   
   $52,580.27.  They offer a repayment schedule, and mean it.  The band   
   will be writing.  LaBamba's already writing a letter.  He doesn't   
   understand; it's like a cat watching a tennis match.   
   	   
   	- They're done with Walken and don't need him for the movie   
   opening.   
      
      
   Fathers DiCarlo and Kelly:   
   	- The Vatican declared they were more awesomer than all the   
   other churches ever.  They wish to say the Pope may have overstated   
   things.  Conan agrees; it's entrapment.  He's going to do five-to-ten in   
   purgatory for disagreeing with the Pope.   
   	   
   	- They want his loyalty: help the Church, the Church helps his   
   drug addiction.  They count self-pleasure as a drug addiction.  Conan   
   hides Victoria's Secret catalogues in his Sports Illustrated magazine.   
   ``How did you know that?!''  ``We didn't.''   
   	   
   	- They want Conan's asserting the Pope's supreme authority in   
   matters of Christian Faith.   
   	   
   	- Jesus Christ comes out -- he finds their lack of faith in   
   *Jesus* first and foremost disturbing, and Force-chokes the priests.   
      
      
      
   Tim Meadows:   
   	- He got divorced; it was no fun.  Single life was awkward at   
   first, you have to listen again.  You need to learn new history, name,   
   that stuff.  The first dates he felt like he was cheating on his wife.   
   	   
   	- ``You're talking  to an attractive person and you're not used   
   to that,'' which didn't come out like Conan meant.   
   	   
   	- He thought the first date was going well, but when he asked if   
   she wanted to do this again she laughed and said no.  She didn't feel   
   chemistry.  She offered to help pay the check.  The ride home was quiet;   
   she asked to turn on the radio and he said ``No''.   
   	   
   	- Conan expected she'd say yes and then be unavailable -- ``I'm   
   building a silo'' or some such excuse.   
   	   
   	- She was a yoga instructor, as he was taking his first classes.   
    She'd straddle his thighs.  Apparently this was just her doing her job.   
    Conan used to be confused by supermodels making eye contact.   
   	   
   	- He was the first in his circle of friends to get divorced, and   
   now friends ask for serious marriage-threatening crisis advice.  He's   
   not used to giving out life-changing advice.   
   	   
   	- They look to him like Evel Kneivel as someone who made it out   
   intact.  He advises to work it out if they at all can, otherwise, say   
   goodbye to half of everything they own.
