   This is exactly what I was thinking -- that's one of the most   
   Letterman-esque bits that's ever been on Conan's incarnation of the   
   show.  Maybe next week, Conan will be walking across the hall to do the   
   local weather.

   Speaking of Thursday night's show, I'm all in favor of cheerleaders from   
   my hometown appearing, especially now that they wear less clothes than   
   they did during my formative years.  What I want to know is how she,   
   specifically, came to the attention of the producers in the first place.   
   Since NFL cheerleading isn't a full-time job, there are plenty of other   
   cheerleaders who have seemingly incongruous careers.  Maybe someone on   
   staff was doing "research" and discovered several, all from cities with   
   cheap flights to New York, and she was the first one to return the phone   
   call.
