   This bit has just about run its course, I think. It hasn't really evolved   
   since they started doing it, and hardly anyone in the audience gets the   
   sci-fi inside jokes. About the only consistently funny part is Pierre's   
   ridiculously bad reading of his cue cards, but even that is starting to   
   wear thin.   
      
   > Robin Wright Penn:   
      
   I believe this was the first time I've seen her on Late Night (I don't   
   think I've seen any of her movies either). She came across as very sweet   
   and charming, while not at all full of herself like the average   
   flavor-of-the-month celebrity guest. I can see why Sean Penn has stayed   
   married to her.

   This was hilarious. I think he's mastered sit-down comedy (having already   
   mastered the stand-up kind). Funniest guest of the week in my book.
