   My first Tonight Show dream

   	I'm not quite sure what was going on, but I do remember reading   
   someone's snarky little comment on a sketch, with a line to the effect   
   of, ``Good one, Conan.  Immediately after a guest does a real   
   show-stopper of a bit, ask him to do it *again*.''  This seemed to me an   
   unfair comment since it'd be a natural riff on some remarkable and out-   
   of-the-ordinary bit for Conan to ask for more.  Also I think the person   
   I imagined making the comment to be Canadian and, as far as I know, not   
   a regular watcher of the show.   
      
   	The other bit I remember is something with a chorus singing along   
   to another show-sketch thing.  Initially the singing is from off-stage,   
   but there's a pan over to the singers just to the right of Conan's desk.   
   For some reason after another refrain the singers get water poured on   
   their head, possibly in a You Can't Do That On Television moment, which   
   also gets the Los Angeles Skyline painting wet.  This delights Conan who   
   wonders how the show couldn't have figured out beforehand where to have   
   the singers so the backdrop wouldn't get soaked too.   
      
   	What it all means?  I don't know, but this is a lot better than   
   the yoga session in the upscale shopping mall with New Jersey Governor   
   Jon Corzine.
