   Joseph Nebus to All   
   31 July 2007 - Harry Shearer, Tegan and    
   01 Aug 07 22:57:44   
   
   From: nebusj-@-rpi-.edu   
      
   Harry Shearer:   
   	- Conan got to see The Simpsons Movie as a fan.   
   	   
   	- Parting word to Tom Snyder.  Snyder invited his comedy group to do their   
   take-off of his show *on* his show.   
   	   
   	- Marketing!  The movie came out after a surprisingly long time, but making   
   those Kwik-e-Marts did it.  Woo is the new woo-hoo.   
   	   
   	- Mr Burns thinks Fox made one mistake.  They failed to make attendance   
   compulsory.  His campaign would have been simple: see this movie or your   
   lifeless body will be dumped in an abandoned coal (mine)?   
   	   
   	- Smithers likes the movie, it's a ... it's a ... good date movie, if you   
   know what I mean.   
   	   
   	- Ned Flanders is so excited because this is a movie about fatherhood and   
   something I take almost as seriously as the bible itself.   
   	   
   	- Principal Skinner's not *in* the movie.  Maybe way in the background.  Just   
   sitting there snogging Edna Krabapple.   
   	   
   	- As Tom Brokaw he does a funny report on a plane crash.  How to key-in to   
   Brokaw?  It's the liquid L.  Many people have it, but few parley it into a   
   career.  NBC's science correspondent has it too.   
   	   
   	- Spinal Tap: they've started playing, and recently reunited at New Wembley   
   Stadium for Live Earth.  They also played at Old Wembley for the Freddie   
   Mercury tribute concert.   
   	   
   	- The start of the show was supposed to be Nigel Tufnel slamming his guitar,   
   but the speakers were unplugged, and people thought the lack of volume was a   
   joke.  He thought it was hours of humiliation and awkwardness, but it was   
   actually eight seconds    
   before it was fixed.   
   	   
   	- Derek Smalls has this moustache; it's his real facial hair.  He thought   
   he'd grow the whole beard, but they had to start doing photo shoots a month   
   ahead, and for a month he was looking like *that*.  He had that weird   
   experience as in 'A Mighty Wind'    
   of walking around in real life with other people's choices of your face.   
   	   
   	- Besides the album he has a new comedy site, just launched, creative people   
   doing video without network supervision on the Internet free.   
      
      
   Commercial For Late Night -   
   	At least, that was the first commercial in this break, including clips from   
   Joe's Bar, alas.  I guess WNBC couldn't sell all the time there.   
      
      
   Tegan and Sara:   
   	- From 'The Con': Back In Your Head, as I reckon these things.   
      
      
   WNBC also fit in a test of the Emergency Alert System, which is nowhere near   
   as pleasant as the Emergency Broadcast System was.
