   Ted Danson:   
   	- He's tall and his white hair is majestic.  He warns Conan that   
   his having that much hair is unattractive.   
   	   
   	- Danson had trouble with tabloids exaggerating his hair loss.   
   He covered his first small pouch with shoe polish and coming-over.  They   
   airbrushed his head bald.   
   	   
   	- Filming on the streets of New York City is a lot of fun,   
   particularly if you used to be unable to get arrested here.   
   	   
   	- He's kind-of Vegan; he also eats fish.  (And hamburgers and   
   bacon and dairy and Starburst candy!)  Finding a good place to eat is   
   tricky, but he lowered his cholesterol from 259 to 129.  But he's eating   
   linoleum and air.   
   	   
   	- Down side to Vegan diet: volumes of gas.   
   	   
   	- Woody Harrelson's the first vegetarian he knew.  He's moved to   
   Hawaii, and has a lot of gas.   
   	   
   	- He's married to Mary Steenburgen.  They started up the   
   Dan-Burgen Dancers; they go to Guam and hit dance poses.   
      
      
   FedEx Pope:   
   	- With tomorrow night's characters.   
      
      
   Halftime Report:   
   	- Audience 24, Late Night 6 at halftime.  The statistics:   
   	4 belly laughs; 3 applause refusals; 6 minutes ``deep space''   
   silence.   
   	   
   	.25 laugh-per-minute ratio; 3 line flubs; 4 band miscues,   
   including LaBamba fumbling his sheet music.   
   	   
   	- Tough Audience Member of the Night: Robert Willis of   
   Heartsdale, New York, not a smile the entire show.   
   	   
   	- Late Night Locker Room: Conan gives a pep talk, and chews out   
   and benches the FedEx Pope.  Max won't stop talking to the cheerleader   
   -- the hooker dressed like a cheerleader.  The second-string drummer is   
   warming up.   
   	   
   	- Pender: he needs more performance-enhancing drugs.  Ted Danson   
   talked about intestinal gas!  Joel should go to the showers, but he was   
   beat to it by a young Asian guy.  The audience wants to know if he'll   
   forfeit, but Conan has the audience where it is.   
   	   
   	- LaBamba!  Keep doing that mentally-challenged man-child!   
   	   
   	+ I really like this sketch.  I thought the announcer at first   
   was Bob Costas -- he did the Rain Delay sketch on the similar premise of   
   mixing Late Night and Sports Coverage metaphors -- but the more I heard   
   the less I was convinced of that.  Fine premise, though, well-executed,   
   and good job bringing business of the day into it, particularly Danson's   
   interview and LaBamba's fumbling with sheet music.   
   	   
   	+ ... Or was his fumbling planned to let things fit into it,   
   and Danson's choice of topics brought up in the pre-interview so that   
   it could be riffed on in the later sketch?
