Well, I can't find any bit of Conan-related news that's at
all new or which amounts to anything other than statements that
someone or other has successfully appeared on Late Night. His big
Los Angeles home purchase keeps getting re****ted by new agencies,
which suggests that many editors have decided this is useful filler
with no paticular date-relevance.
So here's a hypothetical. Yesterday -- the 31st of January --
was the fiftieth anniversary of the United States's first successful
satellite launch, that of Explorer I. Had there been writers to make
a normal-style show, what do you imagine Late Night would have done
with that trivial anniversary?
