   16 February 2009 - #2720 - Bob Saget, Thenewno2.   
   	Standing ovation.  They frighten the home viewer.  Elevator   
   crash.   
      
   Conologue.   
   	In a survey of historians George W Bush was named one of the ten   
   worst Presidents of all time; on the bright side, he was selected   
   second-best President named George Bush.  Martha Stewart had Clinton as   
   a guest; Barbara Walters talked about her passionate night with   
   Rutherford B Hayes.  One of Obama's advisors said choosing cabinet   
   members is unlike picking American Idol contestants, as American Idol   
   contestants have paid their taxes.  Top Google search terms on   
   Valentine's Day included 'red lobster' and 'olive garden', explaining   
   why the next day top terms were 'cold shower' and 'no sex'.  Nickelodeon   
   is coming out with their own musical, Spectacular, for teens who don't   
   think High School Musical is gay enough.  Marvel Comics has a special   
   edition comic where Spider-Man and Obama go back in time to witness   
   Lincoln gave the Gettysburg Address, answering the question, What If   
   Michael Phelps Ran Marvel Comics?   
      
   	Best-Of Clips: Dinner with Jordan Schlansky.  You should taste   
   the Tuscan sun in olive oil, *if* it's Tuscan olive oil.  Conan   
   interrupts his stories and advice relentlessly.  Schlansky shows off   
   pictures on his iPhone; Conan will have him killed.  They scooter away.   
      
   	They won't need the set anymore.  Conan takes an axe to the   
   proscenium.  Gives it to the guy he was talking about earlier, who knew   
   whether there was such a stroke as Conan's weird sort-of breast stroke   
   variation.   
      
   	Favorite Satellite TV Channels: It almost kills him every time;   
   why the knife edge there he doesn't know; no remote, he uses his thumb.   
   John Tesh Animal Planet Channel: When Teshes Attack (the Tesh's music   
   leads to paralysis, then death).  Toddlers With Too Much Responsibility   
   Channel.  Yearlong Spit-Take Channel (March 2001-2002, incidentally).   
   Sexual Harassing Skeleton Network (the skeleton sounds sort of like   
   Conan's yankee trader voice).  Men Without Hats Conversation Channel.   
   Dog Ventriloquist Network.  Clive Clemmons Inappropriate Response   
   Channel.  Potato Judge Channel.  Lincoln Money Shot Channel (Mike   
   Sweeney approves).   
      
   	+	Google has no strong preference to whether Clemmons has   
   one or two m's.   
      
   	+	The Practice Punching Someone In The Face channel   
   didn't make it?   
      
   	Bumper: from the original animated opening!   
      
   Bob Saget:   
   	Conan and family ran into Saget and his posse (daughters) last   
   time he was in Los Angeles.  Also Saget's TV wife.  Beautiful people;   
   gets just three woos.  Now Saget will visit a *lot*.  Saget hangs out   
   with the _Full House_ gang, even the chimpanzee.  Saget's Jewish and do   
   you want to see his Michigosh?  Suggests Brando really said 'the hora'   
   in Apocalypse Now and nobody heard it.  Conan throws his swiss-chocolate   
   desk mike away.  They had a donkey on _Full House_ (just once), and it   
   got an erection and excreted simultaneously which he thinks impossible.   
   Any gimmicks for his new _Surviving Suburbia_?  The new donkey coming at   
   you in 3-D?  Saget heard the audience's moans of disapproval and said,   
   'ah, more!'   
      
   	What's Conan's and Max's relationship like off-camera?  They   
   hang out after the show, getting a beer in eerie, eye-contact-free   
   silence for the first time in 13 years.  (Best-of clip.)   
      
   Thenewno2:   
   	From _You Are Here_: No idea what song it was.  I think it may   
   have been 'Lonely Highs'.
