   30 August 2007 - Kevin Bacon, Will Forte   
   03 Sep 07 20:33:27   
   
   From: ddrewc@verizonSPAMBEGONE.net   
      
   Kevin Bacon:   
      
         - His wife, Kyra Sedgwick, was on the show not long ago (June 14) and   
   mentioned that she shoots "The Closer" in Los Angeles while Kevin works   
   mostly in New York. How do they cope with being apart? Kevin replies, ``We   
   talk all the time ... and we text a lot.'' Conan mocks this last part: ``   
   `Don't worry, we're fine. We text every now and then. It's a full and rich   
   marriage.' ''   
      
         - Sometimes Kevin makes movies for his wife -- no, not dirty ones --   
   complete with score, sound effects, and everything. One was a trailer for a   
   (fake) film called "Dog Dude," in which a boy, abandoned in the woods, is   
   raised by wild dogs. He filmed it in the backwoods near his home in   
   Connecticut. For one scene, he filmed himself running naked in a field with   
   his dog, when suddenly a hiker came walking over a ridge towards him. Kevin   
   ran back to the camera and his clothes, and when he looked again the hiker   
   (who was trespassing) was gone. Conan: ``You won't see him again. Or he'll   
   be back a lot. Hard to know which way it's gonna go.''   
      
         - His wife was nominated for an Emmy, and he went to the awards with   
   her. He can put on his tux in ``like, five seconds,'' but his wife can take   
   hours to get ready, with people coming to help with the clothes, hair,   
   makeup, manicure and pedicure, etc., so he makes sure everyone is taken   
   care of. Once he let a woman into their apartment and told her to set up on   
   the dining room table because the room has good light for doing makeup and   
   stuff like that. Later he found out she was the bikini-line waxer. Conan:   
   ``That's probably the first time she's been asked, `Let's do this right on   
   the dining-room table. This'll be fun.' ''   
      
         - He has two teenage kids who came to see his latest movie, "Death   
   Sentence," and expressed surprise that they didn't hate it like they did   
   his other movies. Kevin says he usually doesn't invite his kids to watch   
   his movies, as in: ``Hey, come on, kids! Come into the living room!   
   'Tremors' is on!'' Conan, on the other hand, makes his 3-year-old stay up   
   to 12:35 to watch his show: ``Drink coffee and then watch Papa! [Imitating   
   daughter's voice:] `You seem so sad and desperate!' ''   
      
         - They show a clip from "Death Sentence" in which he is chased   
   through city streets on foot by members of a gang.   
      
      
   Will Forte:   
      
         - Conan says he liked that when he worked on "Saturday Night Live"   
   (``when it was a radio show... back in the late '40s'') he got the summers   
   off. What did Will do over the summer? He went to Iceland, saw some geysers   
   and hot springs, and visited an animal penis museum, where he learned that   
   ``if I ever even had the thought that I could please a female whale   
   sexually, I was mistaken.'' They show a photo of him at the museum next to   
   an elephant penis. Conan thinks it looks like a hotel bannister that he   
   rode down once.   
      
         - Will works out at the NBC gym on the eighth floor. Once he walked   
   into the locker room and encountered an ``extremely naked man'' who seemed   
   very comfortable with his nakedness as he stood at the sink combing his   
   hair. Will, who is shy about nakedness, averted his eyes until the man was   
   finished, then looked and realized that the man was Max Weinberg.   
      
         - He did a little research and uncovered rumors about Max and his   
   locker room etiquette that were ``kind of like Bigfoot sightings.'' Max   
   says he has very big feet. One rumor was about Max and a blow dryer and his   
   balls. They ask Max if this is real. Max says he will get back to them   
   after talking to his lawyer. Conan asks Max directly if he uses a blow   
   dryer on his privates. Max doesn't answer, but has a smile on his face.   
   Conan and Will say they don't blow-dry theirs. Max says they should. Conan   
   asks Max if he does it because he's in a hurry. Max is noncommittal:   
   ``Gotta get to rehearsal. Gotta rehearse! ... It's hearsay -- hairsay.''   
      
         + This exchange did nothing to diminish Max's reputation on the show   
   as an unabashed sexual deviant, although it show some of Max's playful,   
   witty side.   
      
         - Conan transitions to Will's latest film, "The Brothers Solomon,"   
   which must have taken ``balls to make'' and which, he hears, is ``blowing   
   people away.'' Will and Will Arnett play brothers who are trying to make a   
   grandson for their dying father. They resort to a surrogate mother, played   
   by Kristen Wiig, who has an imposing boyfriend. They show a clip in which   
   the two brothers talk to the boyfriend, who is miffed at being asked if he   
   is a janitor despite his being dressed in a janitor's uniform.   
      
      
   Eisley:   
      
         - Plays "Invasion" from their CD "Combinations." The song is a dark,   
   haunting rocker, with lyrics that suggest the trepidation felt in the   
   presence of an invader. The words hint at an oncoming genocide: ``You would   
   take the breath from my throat / And you would take the cherished people   
   that I hold.... They will try to make us forget ourselves / One by one, one   
   by one.''   
      
         - The band is fronted by three blonde girls (sisters, I learned) who   
   play instruments and sing. They are backed by two guys on bass and drums   
   (the drummer is the sisters' brother). While they look about college age,   
   they have a polished, eerily beautiful sound.
