   	Conan's hair plans were just bizarre, in that ``writing for Mr   
   Burns'' style insanity, which is a good thing.  Past that, though, after   
   the interview with Pierre Bernard and turning Chris Rock loose it's hard   
   for the rest of the show not just to be filler.  Christopher Meloni held   
   up well, though, and stayed interesting even if I had the feeling his   
   comments about not remembering a ``Special Victims Unit'' episode two   
   weeks after making it was prepackaged for our convenience.  We had some   
   too-rare guest cross-talk too, which ought to be played up more.  I know   
   the guests come with their three pre-interview points to hit, but the   
   show is *always* more successful when conversation breaks out.
