TV: Conan

I recorded Conan O'Brien last night to watch Sarah Silverman. Sarah got into some heat several years ago for a joke that used the word "chink," and was temporarily banned from the show, so this episode had the potential for greatness.

When I played the tape this morning iCOnan's first guest was Will Ferrell. Ugh! I fast forwarded, and it looks like Will had a double-booking, because he was the only guest.

I'm not a bit Will Ferrell fan.

I mentioned this to Sarah's boyfriend and he told me that Conan's wife went into labor last night.

So has anybody heard about Conan's baby yet? For the mother's sake, I hope the kid doesn't have Conan's big head.

I hear Conan gets the Tonight Show when Leno's unfunny ass retires.

Crom!

BTW, I heard SS on NPR's "Fresh Air" last night. God she has an annoying voice.

Conan's wife had a boy. They named him Beckett. He was 8lbs, 4oz.

And yes, Conan has a deal to host the Tonight Show when Leno retires, just like Letterman had a deal... then Leno did before they they offered it to Letterman again.

If you've seen The Late Shift you'll know that anything can still happen. With all the loopholes NBC probably put in, they'll probably only lose a couple million $ should they change their mind.
