   	(There was no Christmas Eve show for some reson or other.)   
      
   25 December 2008 - rerun - Alan Alda, Billy Joel.   
   	Conologue.  'Joey' is going off the air until after the   
   Olympics: the 2012 Olympics.  Luciano Pavarotti will reunite with the   
   others of the Three Tenors; he can't wait to see what they've been up to   
   and then eat them.   
      
   	Late Night Christmas Lighting Spectacular, with Nancy Odell.   
   It's a Vigoda, from the house of Joan and Barry Wendell.  World's   
   Smallest Ice Rink.  There's enough ice in it to build a rink twice it   
   size, half as deep. Skaters Galic Chait and Sergei Sakhnovsky,   
   Grammy-eligible singer David Cassidy.  First Vigoda brought to New York   
   City in 1802 by Benjamin Franklin, who'd been dead for twelve years.   
   'Hark, the Herald's Angel Sings' by the Underrehearsed, Reluctant   
   Children's Choir.  Conan laughs maniacally on the Astrovision Times   
   Square screen.  'Feliz Navidad' by the Underrehearsed, Reluctant   
   Children's Choir.  It's legal to adopt kids but not to steal them.  It's   
   Triumph the Insult Comic Dog!   
      
   Alan Alda:   
   	Father was in burlesque; it took him a while to learn women   
   weren't normally so naked.  Had a near-death experience in Chile:   
   intestinal blockage.  End-to-end enastomosis; he did many of them on   
   M*A*S*H.  Couldn't avoid joking.  Who's going to win the West Wing   
   election?  He doesn't know.   
      
      
   Billy Joel:   
   	He can't get away from being Billy Joel: his music's everywhere.   
    Got recognized in an Italian place and had to listen to 'I Love You   
   Just The Way You Are'.  Sometimes he'll forget where he is mid-tune.   
   Conan was surprised Billy Joel was Jewish given his Catholic references.   
    Went to confessional until he was chased out; Conan went to lots of   
   friends' bar mitzvahs.   
      
   	Plays: Everybody Loves You Now; Vienna.
