   Joseph Nebus to All   
   1 October 2007 - Jerry O'Connell, Ken Bu   
   02 Oct 07 23:45:30   
   
   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.
