   	Andy had a good day for being a politely rebellious element on   
   the show last night, between his commentary on Conan's Tiger Woods Caddy's   
   advice (``getting terrible advice'', or, hoping that the third is the last   
   joke ... because, of course, they have so much show to get to), or noting   
   the lack of need for the Celebrity Survey research, and getting that app   
   on when to laugh at Conan's jokes.   
      
   	I don't imagine that it reflects anything backstage other than   
   the recognition that the show's funnier when Conan's fighting for control   
   of the flow of events --- compare his wrestling for control with the Deep   
   Voiced Guy, used in Twitter Tracker and those segments where Deep Voice   
   would get all excited about, say, the number of guests this week with   
   double letters in their names --- and Andy's got the charming playful   
   presence which lets him get away with mocking the show without threatening   
   to break it.   
      
   	Also, good job on having Tilly the Artist Dog on.  Part of the   
   transition to The Tonight Show has been a satisfying increase in the   
   number of 'novelty guests' who perform in interesting ways, and that's   
   very good.  (``Do you coat the painting with bacon beforehand?'')  That   
   Tilly was acting so generally weird reinforced that wrestling-for-control   
   element of the show; Conan's blank response to being told the first   
   painting was Roman Polanski proves the idea.
