Saget, Pollak, and Gottfried were IMO the best renditions of the joke.

He never got on FT, although he knew as many tricks as the real experts.

The instructions don't use the words "teaching philosophy"...here's what they're asking for in the admission packet. Curiously, no hard cap on word count or page count either.
Isn't "type written" a one-word word?

As much as I think Conan is an unfunny overgrown troll, and while it looks good that he is kicking in to help out his staff, NBC should at least be doubling the severances just for their own stupidity. Conan is not the hot property that NBC believed him to be and they should have let him walk and never forced Jay from 11:30. Conan threatened to walk unless he got the bump to 11:30, which is why NBC made the Jay announcement five years earlier. This is a repeat of the scenario that pushed Letterman to CBS. NBC did not learn from their mistake.

Last time I looked, yes. That could have been Word's doing.

Love me the smell of some Kilz in the morning

The joke that Jennifer Lopez did where she blended Sully and Conan was classic.

ETA: Link. Monologue starts at 1:35.

I might put a ban on NBC late night tv.

I just enjoy pointing out possible typographical errors in documents from places that make a business out of judging the merits of others.

I had no idea SAT was a DL maintenance base. Three 752s are parked at hangars here.

The Marriott Plaza here = meh...

Made it to ORD just fine. Started drinking about 90 minutes ago. All is right in Airworld.

Nah. Not me, anyway. Jay was always a loyal NBC soldier because of the goodness shown to him by Carson...never mind that Jay was not Carson's pick to succeed him, and that Carson was embarrassed since he all but promised 11:30 to Letterman. I'm all about supporting Jay.

I wonder if Leno still has the Harley that CBS bought him with the engraving on the tank inviting him to ride over to CBS.

You and me both. If I could have made a marketable business out of being a professional anti-stupidity proofreader, I certainly wouldn't be sweating a grad school admission.

You might wish to look into booking your Alcatraz tour before you get here. Those tickets can disappear quickly.
