      From: nebusj-@-rpi-.edu              Fred Willard:        - New York City's a fun city despite tough travelling. The day       before she was waiting at a baggage carousel for his tube of toothpaste.        He had too much special toothpaste, and it's surprising how similar       toothpastes look. But it has to be or else Bush's utter indifference to       catching Bin Laden would be obvious.                - He was at a play tonight, forgot he was on Conan tonight.       He's tucking stuff into his waist too much.                - The Phantom of the Opera was played by Rip Taylor. Throughout       the show he called out, `Hello, it's me!' and the audience would play       Happy Days Are Here Again. His mother loved it.                - A friend of his loved bad theater; they *had* to go to an       badly-reviewed The Sound of Music. For $50 (then) the show better be       *really* bad. It's hard walking out on a play, particularly if you're       known, and if you're Conan who's quite tall.                - To sneak out you should peer at your watch, so you should       ideally have a watch. ``It's half past a freckle.'' Don't wave your       arms and go fooey.                - Late Night's audience may not leave; they pay nothing and half       the time ask for their money back.                - His father was very serious; aunts and uncles were comic       relief. In fifth grade a Greek girl, Adonais Ravonis moved in; a name       like that doesn't get overlooked when you're eleven. ``Your mother       tells me you were making fun of one of your classmates. That's not very       nice. What's her name.'' Adonais Ravonis. ``I'm not joking, tell me       her name!''                - On his new show he's on stage with Kelsey Grammar. But       Willard had been doing an impression, and he was intimidated by Grammar.        A bowling ball tournament got to calling him insulting names, and       Grammar responded in kind.                - Willard asks for the show to be mocked. Not ripped to shreds.        Gentle nudging. They don't do gentle nudging.                     Animal Collective:        - Strawberry Jam: No idea, but it's quite a pleasant sequence of       sounds.                     Carson Daly:        - Friday nights he has this bit where his opening credits are a       redone version of a late 70s/early 80s show, and tonight's was The       Greatest American Hero, which was appealing. And after his monologue he       went back to his desk, where he found two guys playing ping-pong and at       match point, whom he had to chase off. This was a nice bit of business       and funny.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
