      From: nebusj-@-rpi-.edu              Jerry O'Connell:        - He married Rebecca Romijn.                - He wanted to do something big for the wedding. He was going       to propose at a baseball game, when the A's were going into the       playoffs. But the week before they were sort-of fighting, so he started       to scratch the A's idea. He didn't want to be a YouTube thing, fat kid       from Stand By Me gets turned down. In a pause he got to 'you better say       yes', not so much asking as begging her.                - O'Connell's fans warned him about Conan's Rebecca Romijn       fixation.                - You have to spend obscene money on your wedding as it's only       once or ten times in your life. O'Connell is an international       cable-television star; you can go down the road of getting into       rich-people weddings. They didn't want to.                - You can't go grilling at you wedding. But he was going to go       to the good supermarket, get the chips with ridges, the fancy sodas. He       didn't like the price quoted so he got the wine himself, at Trader       Joe's. Bear's Lair.                - They didn't come to blow about this, but ... offering to do       the flowers himself, James Woods had some nice posies in his yard ...       they didn't steal flowers.                - If you're going to mention a store to get free stuff on TV you       shouldn't use Trader Joe's.                - Carpoolers: lots of improv. He had to take a class.                     Ken Burn's Appearance On Late Night With Conan O'Brien:        - A 14-DVD set, 26 hours long, Conan dropped a bunch, and an       amazing film. Parts are narrated by the late George Plympton.                - My next guest is an award-winning documentarian whose films       include The Civil War, Baseball, and Jazz. His latest film is called       Horatio's Drive: America's First Road Trip. -- Conan O'Brien, Sept 23,       2003.                - Narration; Pierre Bernard; The Interview of September 23,       2003. Interview with Conan, who had had Ed Burns on before. He's not       much like Ken Burns except for the last name.                - Conan doesn't remember the anecdote, but it was the turning       point.                - It's only $600, not a bad price.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
