   Richard Gere:   
   	- Gere works the crowd in a nice touch.  Everyone was psyched by   
   his arrival.   
   	   
   	- His wife met Conan the week before Conan started the show,   
   when he was 17.  Gray -- white -- hair works for Gere.  He tried dying   
   his hair black, but it disturbed his son, who thought he looked like   
   Clifford Irving.   
   	   
   	- There was this photographer he was obsessed with despite the   
   body part-based artwork.  This made women being over a litmus test for   
   their involvement in his life.  His wife liked it, until they got   
   married, then she ordered it gone.   
   	   
   	- He knows the Dalai Lama.   
   	   
   	- He likes slightly soft-focus pictures and ... I couldn't quite   
   make it out, but I think he took a bad picture of the Dalai Lama.   
   	   
   	- It's rumored he snores.  He denies this, but finds women in   
   the audience say they have the problem.  Conan excuses his flaws as   
   genetic too.   
   	   
   	- He has a device that fits in your mouth and it forces your   
   jaws open and forward, horrific.  It resembles the eye-clenching of A   
   Clockwork Orange.  He hasn't slept in six months.  Pierre Bernard made a   
   projected image of Gere in that device.   
   	   
   	- The Hunting Party: it's a Bosnian War piece.  Several   
   journalists chose to find Radovan Karadzic, and it's insane where it's   
   true.  Bosnia is still on the list of places Americans are advised to   
   not go.   
   	   
   	- He wanted to try meeting a war criminal.  Karadzic is wanted   
   for war crimes, but also has written two plays, a couple novels, meets   
   his agent regularly, and can't get arrested.  There's a $5 million   
   bounty on him.   
      
      
      
   Fathers DeCarlo and Kelly:   
   	- Thanks for coming to church!  It was so nice he left a few   
   minutes early, before recessional.   
   	   
   	- It's on video tape.  They're The Eyes of God.   
   	   
   	- Conan left early to not miss the Patriots game.  Is he one of   
   those Kickoff Catholics?   
   	   
   	- And he compounded it by wagering on the game.  It was on the   
   bottom drawer of his desk under a Playgirl Magazine.   
   	   
   	- Isn't the Church bingo game gambling too?  Bingo stands for   
   Bringing In New God Obeyers.  Will Conan not leave Church anymore?  Will   
   he be at the Bingo game?   
   	   
   	- Jesus barges in: there's a bigger gambling problem on the 10th   
   floor.  They taser the guy with the scratch-off cards and Jesus steals   
   his sandwich.   
      
   	+ This may be one of the many 'template sketches', with just   
   minor details filled in each time, but I still like it.  It's at its   
   strongest when it gets into the wonderful universe of canon law,   
   though, as opposed to weak-tea Catholic Church humor like bingo night.   
   The Catholic Church can reach Trekkie fanboy levels of weird rule-and-   
   logic-chopping; go with that strength.
