   10 February 2009 - #2716 - Norm MacDonald, Gordon Ramsay, Levon Helm.   
   Conologue.   
   	Conan's dying and the studio will become a Cracker Barrel   
   restaurant.  Obama accidentally bumped his head on a helicopter door;   
   Bush said, ``See?  it's not so easy!''  Michael Phelps has had trouble   
   sleeping since he was caught smoking marijuana, but he hasn't had   
   trouble eating cookie dough and discussing the final season of   
   ThunderCats.  Alex Rodriguez used steroids, he says, due the pressure of   
   his $252 million contract, raising the question, what kind of steroids   
   is Oprah on?  A man in Sweden watched 72 hours of '24', setting a   
   marathon record; more impressive, a man in Norway watched a whole   
   episode of 'According To Jim'.  A woman robbing a Long John Silver's   
   burst into tears and told the manager, if she weren't down and out, she   
   wouldn't be doing this; the manager said, that's what all our customers   
   say.   
      
   	Best-Of Clips: Conan in Napa Valley.  Spring Mountain Vineyard.   
   It's a very funny bit but I've summarized it at least twice already.   
      
   	Clutch Cargo Alex Rodriguez: he's very sorry he got caught.  It   
   was a loosey-goosey era at the start of this interview.  He took massive   
   doses of Confessor-X, a confession-enhancing drug, a natural substance   
   found in the hypothalamus of Kodiac brown bears (a joke which got no   
   laughs except from me).  He shot Tupac.  He took too much Chokeroll,   
   which he takes every October.  He actually likes _Benjamin Button_.  He   
   had sex with Madonna: not young hot Madonna but now   
   old-leathery-fake-Jewish-velociraptor Madonna.   
      
      
   Norm MacDonald:   
   	Didn't think Conan would work.  Stunning how Leno outfoxed him   
   again.  'The deficit ... yeah, I know that word.'  'The Great   
   Depression', he knows that one.  He could tie a rag to a stick and   
   survive a new Great Depression.  If he had money, he'd invest in guys   
   jumping off the tops of buildings.  He knew 'Sully' Sullenberger for ten   
   years and right on meeting him bought his story.  Met him in ... an   
   airport!  He made a movie about the guy six months ago.  Terrible   
   ending: a safe landing in Kansas City.  Another with his wife.   
      
   Gordon Ramsay:   
   	Cooking something in a bag.  He claps and shouts a lot: it'll go   
   badly.  Wake up, Norm.  Segment an orange.  There's a lot of motion and   
   cursing and something to do with fish.  Conan gets the wine.   
      
   Levon Helm:   
   	Dirt Farmer: A Train Robbery, I think.   
      
   	Take A Load Off, Annie, for the second segment and credits.
