   Drew to All   
   31 August 2007 - Scarlett Johansson, Kev   
   03 Sep 07 23:02:38   
   
   From: ddrewc@verizonSPAMBEGONE.net   
      
   Scarlett Johansson:   
      
         - Was in Spain shooting a movie by Woody Allen, whom the Spaniards   
   love. In Oviedo, there is a statue of him, which she visited with Penelope   
   Cruz at 3 o'clock in the morning. Conan: ``It sounds sexy -- it's just you   
   and Penelope Cruz at 3 a.m. -- except for the statue of Woody Allen   
   there.... It's ruining things for me.''   
      
         - She grew up in New York City, in Greenwich Village, where she would   
   ``stare out the window and watch the transvestite prostitutes get picked up   
   and shipped around.'' It didn't bother her, although it freaked out her   
   grandma when she visited at Christmastime. Scarlett knew some of the   
   prostitutes' names, such as Chantilly Lace, from roaming the street.   
      
         - She went to see the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade until a couple   
   of years ago, because ``it's so cold that... it's like you're   
   hallucinating'' and the floats seem to come to life. Conan wonders if she   
   didn't have something funny before going to the parade: `` `Chantilly Lace   
   gave me a little something to pep me up.' ''   
      
         - She helped out on "Late Night" once back in 1993, when she was   
   eight. They show a photo of her from that time. She has very fond memories   
   of that day.   
      
         - They talk about her movie "The Nanny Diaries." It was shot in New   
   York, which was nice because she got to go home after work. They show a   
   clip in which she, playing a nanny, has ``a bit of a struggle with the   
   child that I'm looking after'' and is discovered in a compromising position.   
      
         - She's doing a USO tour soon. Conan went, but made a huge mistake by   
   not bringing any ladies with him: ``It was just like, `Fellas, what you   
   been waiting for!' And they were like, 'No!' ''   
      
      
   Kevin Nealon:   
      
         - Found a Mexican restaurant last night where they make the guacamole   
   right by the table to show you how fresh it is. Conan acts it out in an   
   accent that sounds more Italian than Mexican: ``We make it a-fresh.''   
      
         - Says he feels important in New York because everyone calls him   
   boss, as in ``How's it going, boss?'' This confuses him: ``I start   
   thinking, `Wait a minute. Do I own a company? Is this guy my employee?...   
   If he is my employee, why is he standing around chatting? Why isn't he   
   working?... I might have to fire this guy.' ''   
      
         - He's thought about moving back to New York because in California   
   he's worried about tsunamis. He noticed that in Sri Lanka, the animals knew   
   a tsunami was coming and escaped before it happened, so he has a lot more   
   respect for animals now: ``When I see a dog chasing a car, I will chase   
   that car too because I'll figure something's up.''   
      
         - He noticed that in videos of floods, there's always a cow up on a   
   roof somewhere. So, he says, ``If you live in the Midwest and you're coming   
   down the stairs and there's a cow coming up the other way, get the boots.''   
      
         - He and his wife had a baby boy recently. He enjoys being a dad,   
   because ``how else can you have a hot nanny if you don't have a kid?'' His   
   wife doesn't appreciate him looking for a nanny on match.com.   
      
         - Is he getting any sleep? Yes, although last night he didn't,   
   because he had what he thinks was a spider bite. The great thing about a   
   bear bite is you know it was a bear.   
      
         - He's a bit of an older dad. To close the gap in age between himself   
   and his child, he's going to start using his wife's anti-aging moisturizing   
   cream at night.   
      
         - Conan mentions that after he had kids, he started noticing other   
   pregnant women and babies. Ditto for Kevin, although he'll never ask a   
   woman if she's pregnant, even if she's in her eighth month and has a   
   T-shirt on that says ``Baby'' with an arrow pointing down. If a woman is in   
   the delivery room and the baby is halfway out, he'll just say, ``Hey, you   
   got a little something on your leg right there.''   
      
         - Does his baby travel well? His family went to France recently and   
   was worried that the baby would cry and upset fellow passengers, but   
   luckily a guy was snoring loudly across the aisle, so people were pissed at   
   him, not at the baby. He also had the plane show "Sesame Street" instead of   
   a movie during the flight, which did not go well with the passengers -- or   
   this audience.   
      
         - Conan congratulates him on the success of his show, "Weeds." When   
   Mary-Kate Olsen guest-starred on the show, Kevin played dumb and acted as   
   if he didn't know she had a twin sister.   
      
         - They talk about working together on "Saturday Night Live," when   
   Conan was a cub writer and Kevin an experienced comedian. Conan used to ask   
   the "SNL" cast what it was like doing standup and being out in the world.   
   Then he got this show, so, Nealon says, Conan has ``never lived yet.''   
      
      
   Locksley:   
      
         - Plays "Let Me Know" from their album "Don't Make Me Wait." They're   
   a rock band with a high-adrenaline sound and Beatles-esque, layered vocals.   
   The lyrics (addressed to a girl the singer is courting) are light and   
   rather shallow, but it's a catchy, radio-friendly song. Of current bands,   
   they remind me of Jet.
