   26 January 2009 - #2708 - John C Reilly, Jimmie Johnson, The Walkmen.   
   Conologue.   
   	Rod Blagojevech compared himself to Martin Luther King Jr: he   
   has a dream and for a hundred bucks he'll tell you about it.  J Crew's   
   stock has risen ten percent as Michelle Obama was spotted in their   
   clothes; Mrs Obama, how would you feel about wearing a Buick?  When Bush   
   flew home they showed a video of his greatest accomplishments during the   
   flight, getting them most of the way through takeoff.  New New York   
   Senator Kirsten Gillibrand showed up to her press conference sporting a   
   Hillary Clinton-like hairstyle and pantsuit, explaining Bill Clinton's   
   screaming, 'Good Lord, there's two of them!'  Joe Torre's new book says   
   Alex Rodriguez took a swing at him, but since it was October, he missed.   
    It's the 50th anniversary of the first transcontinental jet flight, and   
   today, the luggage arrived.  The Pope spoke against spending too much   
   time on social networking sites, like that skank Stephanie who   
   de-friended him.  The number of women selling eggs is up 30 percent, but   
   men selling sperm is up only 15 percent; apparently more men intend to   
   sell their sperm but then Cinemax comes on.  A producer plans to make   
   'Thriller' into a Broadway musical; Michael Jackson says it sounds great   
   and if anyone needs him he'll be across the street at 'Billy Elliot'.   
      
   13th Annual Audiencey Awards again:   
   	New economic-turmoil trophy: unemployed guy in 'wife-beater'   
   T-shirt.   
      
   	Celebrity impersonations: 3-F, Hurley from Lost.  It's not that   
   big a deal.  5-D, former Treasury secretary Pat Paulson.  2-L, Most   
   Likely To Be Rod Blagojevech's Illegitimate Son.  4-A,B,C, Blink-182   
   Tribute Band.  7-G, Most likely to have brought bad weather with them.   
   It's not snow, it's asbestos.   
      
   	How are votes tabulated?  Mister Skolevsky is a critical   
   component.   
      
   	K-23, Borden Milk Award for Audience Member Who Shamelessly   
   Milks Every On-Camera Appearance For As Long As He Possibly Can.  (James   
   Lipton)  'Is it enough, Conan?  Is it ... ever ... enough?'   
      
   	Seated Farthest From Me: W-18.  There's a dispute and a race   
   from Brian McCann and another guy who race through 30 Rock.   
      
   	Max Weinberg has gone missing for the Super Bowl: James   
   Wormworth shows the drum parts to 'Born in the USA', 'Glory Days',   
   'Dancing in the Dark', 'Born To Run'.   
      
   	Got a favorite highlight?  Go to latenightunderground.com.   
      
      
   John C Reilly:   
   	Had garage band, 'The Shark Fighter'; Conan's was 'The Bad   
   Clams'.  Got to meet Robert Plant, but was too nervous.  Hand phone rang   
   with AC/DC's 'Hell's Bells', confusing him.  Had a scene with a chimp.   
   They're very tricky.  You might get too sentimental acting with the   
   chimp.   
      
   Jimmie Johnson:   
   	24-hour car race terribly draining.  Accidentally hurt by a   
   kitchen knife that goes through his fire suit, cool suit, and into his   
   finger.  A few years ago he crashed at 180 miles per hour.  The seconds   
   of a crash take forever to experience.  Hoped his underwear was still   
   clean.  In normal life, his wife thinks he drives too close to other   
   cars.  Conan has a stick-shift Ford Taurus: it's broken.   
      
   The Walkmen:   
   	You & Me: No idea what song they were playing.   
      
   	Conan plays with the camera switcher under the closing credits,   
   which still list the number to call for tickets.
