   Another interesting item:  unlike when they did the bit on Friday, this   
   time the cue cards Conan was being handed by the "caddy" were briefly   
   visible on camera.  They did not contain the Tiger Woods jokes he was   
   telling -- they were jokes from previous monologues.  (The first card   
   for the second Tiger Woods joke was the setup for the "town struck by   
   lightning 160 times in a year" joke from a few nights ago.)
