   27 September 2007 - Ed Helms, Bjork   
   29 Sep 07 03:04:22   
   
   From: nebusj-@-rpi-.edu   
      
   Ed Helms:   
   	- He got a peacock feather too.  And apparently they give gift   
   baskets.  with pornography and -- that may not be a gift basket.   
   	   
   	- The show's a bit ridiculous.  Except for Rain Wilson,   
   napalm-breath, it's a great cast on The Office.  He gets asked to do his   
   Tom Brokaw impression all the time.   
   	   
   	- Tom Brokaw was guest on The Daily Show, and he did his   
   impression there too.  He thinks of Brokaw as America's Dad, this great   
   paternal guy.  Normally cast is kept separate from guests to avoid   
   audience-fishing.  He'd been doing the Brokaw impression all day and he   
   did the impression right at Brokaw, as it was on his brain.  Brokaw   
   didn't respond.   
   	   
   	- Oh, yes, he had major heart surgery as a child, didn't Helms?   
   Yes, when he was 14.  It's cool as a kid because you get so much   
   attention at school, and he had this crush on Amelia.  He got balloons   
   from her, freaking him out: he could talk to her!  GI Joe balloons.   
   	   
   	- Back at school he was ready to talk to her.  He told her he   
   appreciated the balloons.  She thought, like, her mom sent them or   
   something.  They'd spent all this energy and money fixing his heart and   
   at the end of the day it was still broken.   
   	   
   	- Change the tone again: he doing anything fun in New York City?   
    Broadway shows!  He loves musicals.  o/` Do you hear the people sing,   
   singing the song of angry men?  o/`  He gets into the full Les Mis   
   scene, complete with performers over at the monologue area.   
      
      
   Bjork:   
   	- Volta: I have no idea what the song is, but the costumes   
   involved had me hypnotized.   
      
      
   Goodnight Everybody!   
   	- Conan does his 'Police Squad' closing freeze-frame.  Much of   
   the way, anyway.
