13 February 2008 - Matt Lauer, Ryan Reynolds, Simple Plan

Let's see if I can keep this from turning into enormously long 
unreadable rambling posts!  


13 February 2008 - Matt Lauer, Ryan Reynolds, Simple Plan
Max Is:
	Loving Conan too.  Rocking out and doing taxes.  

Introduction:
	The writers are back!  Clinton and Obama sup****ted them.  Bush
is dumb.  Clinton with a cute little kid in flamenco dance.  McCain is
old.  Clemens on steroids.  Paris Hilton's a ****.  Gary Coleman:
Whatchoo talkin' about, rabbi?  Taco Bell diarrhea.  Much duller than 
Conan actually talking aobut something.  


Walkover: Welcome Back, Kotter.  I feel compelled to note that the 
first day Carson Daly was back he used a gimmicked-up ``Welcome Back, 
Kotter'' introduction.  (Fridays he would typically start the show 
with the opening credits to some more classic TV show with himself 
and his cast included.)

	No disputing that the tune is appropriate, but I think that 
my first choice would have been The Beatles' ``Get Back''.  


LaBamba's Terrible Acting Skills are back!

Late Night Writers Guild of America Strike Small Talk Moment.  

Highlights From The 25 Strike Shows.  


Matt Lauer:
	He's lost his voice.  He had the flu two weeks ago when he
cancelled.  He got it from his kids, now put up for adoption.  He's not
taking turning 50 well.  International sign for Meredeth Viera.  They
marry.  Crazy people at the north pole.

	+ This is such an interesting interview it's hard to believe it 
wasn't a Strike Show improvisation.  


Ryan Reynolds:
	Last time his abs in a magazine caused trouble.  Tom Arnold. 
Foreign language translations of comedy?  Irony goes over poorly.  $300
for a stuffed giraffe.  Cute kid.


Simple Plan:
	Simple Plan: Your Love Is A Lie.
