   10 September 2007 - Paul Giamatti, Audie

   Paul Giamatti:   
   	- Conan's a big fan.  They did something strange to him.  Many   
   actors will have to put on bald wigs and ugly makeup; he just looks like   
   himself.   
   	   
   	- He had to go to the Academy Awards looking awful.  Conan gets   
   disappointed expressions when the rain makes his Merv droop.   
   	   
   	- Giamatti plays an over-the-top bad guy, even getting to kill a   
   baby.  He loved watching while people cheered his death on screen.   
   	   
   	- Giamatti was closely supervised with the prop gun, as he may   
   have given the impression of being dangerous with the prop.  His kung-fu   
   was cut too.  Conan would be self-conscious about cut scenes.   
   	   
   	- In a rare move he introduced comedy to a high-action film with   
   a loopily over-the-top villain.   
   	   
   	- Next movie: he's Fred Claus, a Santa Claus.   
      
      
   Audience Questions:   
   	- I grind my teeth at night: should I get a bite guard moulded   
   to my upper or my lower teeth?   
   	It doesn't make much difference; but contact between the tongue   
   and plate anecdotally may lead to more drool.  If that's an issue try   
   the upper plate.   
   	   
   	- Her husband wants a vasectomy; is that allowed under Jewish   
   law?   
   	Conan thinks no, even if it's reversible, as he's cut the flow   
   of his seed.  He cites the literature.   
   	   
   	- Somebody strapped six pounds of C-4 to my chest and it goes   
   off in 14 seconds.  How do I stop it?   
   	Pull the blue and the yellow wire out at the exact same time.   
   	   
   	- ( Cameraman ) I've been working here everyday for 14 years and   
   talked to you at every Christmas party.  What's my name?   
   	... Ben? ...   
   	( His reaction makes it unclear whether Conan was 'right',   
   although it's expanded on in the commercial outro that 'Ben' is upset   
   Conan was wrong. )
