A lot of papers have been writing about Monday's little mix-up
among Conan, Stewart, and Colbert. I think I like best The New York
Times's coverage:
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/02/06/arts/television/06late.html?_r=1&scp=1&sq=conan&st=nyt&oref=slogin
largely on the strength of this quote from Conan about it:
"The truth is, it"s like 'West Side Story,' we all know
where each other's hangout is," said Mr. O'Brien, who sounded as
if he were recovering from the beating when reached by phone on
Tuesday morning. "And it's not that hard getting in the building,
even though I probably shouldn't say that."
"They made crude NBC passes out of clay and just walked
right through," he said of Mr. Colbert and Mr. Stewart, whose
shows are on Comedy Central. "They said they were from the
network affiliate in Ohio."
Well, I also like that the Times still refers to people as
Mr O'Brien and Mr Stewart and such, as if it were still 1897.
