"I SAID NEE-HA!"
The Late Night With Conan O'Brien Newsletter #08/30-036
Hi everyone. Howsitgoing? I've been having such a conetastic week here and I hope you have too. On Thursday night I got a call from this guy from Entertainment Weekly. You remember how I asked (begged) you to write to them a few weeks ago demanding they put Conan on the cover? I liked to call it "Operation Coverboy". Well, he told me that they were probably going to print the email I sent them about it (if they don't, I'm going to look like a total tool after telling you about it). He also said that they would be doing a Conan cover within the next two months!! Coolness eh? I like to think we had a little bit of influence there. You all rule for writing to them!!
Conan even made BBC news on Friday. There I was casually watching the news when I heard Conan's voice. I looked up and there he was in all his glory interviewing President Clinton (via satellite) (they were doing a feature on Talk Show jokes about Clinton on the news). I got soooo excited. I was pointing and jumping and making noises that weren't real words like "Whaaaa?" "Nfuhe" "Coaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnaaaaaaaann!!" It lasted around three seconds but it was such a huge surprise. Just my opinion, but if they'd do that everyday I'd never miss the news. Ever.
There won't be an issue of "NEE-HA!" next week unless something truly amazing happens and I just *have* to tell you. We'll be back in two weeks with our own "Fifth Anniversary Special", and with that in mind I wanted to ask you if you would like to contribute something to that issue? Drop me an email and let me know. Cheers!!
Have a great week everyone and let's get it awn!

LATE NIGHT NEWS
THE ANNIVERSARY..... It was announced earlier on this week that the Big Fifth Anniversary Show will now be shown on September 16th at 10PM (EST) instead of 15th as previously stated. This is due to a number of primaries that are being held on that evening of the 15th and local stations might opt to preempt the show in favor of local news coverage.
IN EUROPE on NBC Europe/DFA you can see the show on Saturday September 19th (this is unconfirmed as their schedule is subject to change). On CNBC Europe it will be shown on Sunday 20th September @ 9pm CET.
According to Late Night producer Jeff Ross the show will be clip-driven and not have any guests. The show is being taped in advance on September 10th in the Saturday Night Live studio 8H, which is currently being given a special makeover (being Conanized) for the event.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
VIRTUAL ANNIVERSARY CARD: The big Late Night Fifth Anniversary show is just over two weeks away. You may have noticed it's all people are talking about. And why not? I was planning on sending the show my best wishes and thought why don't we all do it? I'm (hopefully) sending a fax to Conan's fab assistant Laurie who will pass on all our messages to Conan and Crew. To sign the "virtual card" and leave a message for Conan go to: http://www.angelfire.com/ny/latenightnews/thefifth.html
NOTE: If you don't have www access just email your message to me directly at the usual email address.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
IN OTHER NEWS.
Watch out for Conan appearing on The Tonight Show With Jay Leno to promote the Fifth Anniversary Special on Monday, September 14. According to People magazine Conan will make a guest appearance on ABC's Spin City on September 22. Conan is in this week's EW talking about Late Night's spiffy new website.
CONGRATULATIONS are the order of the day for MW7 band member Jimmy Vivino. The JimmyMan has gone all dapper and swank after dieting and losing 27-pounds over the past few months.
TV GUIDE have spoken with Triumph The Insult Comic Dog. Actually, they spoke to Robert Smigel about the character, but you know what I mean. Smigel told them, "It's the lamest possible act in the world. The dog's idea of an insult is complimenting someone and then doing the old switcheroo." ....

LATE NIGHT POLL
THIS WEEK'S POLL QUESTION: What do you think would be the perfect punishment for the krunk guests who ignore Andy?
Send your response before Thursday to: LateNightPoll@hotmail.com
-----------------------------------------------------------------
LAST WEEK'S POLL QUESTION: What's been your favorite spontaneous song by Conan? "Call me when you're legal" or "Me no speaky English" or something else?
-----------------------------------------------------------------
*Tracey* -
It's gotta be "Call me when you're legal"....You know there are all those Stacey-esque people out there (including myself) gettin their hopes up...
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Andrew -
The best song was "I wanna have sex with your wife tonight - can't help it."
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Ali -
I can't remember if this was word for word, but I think it was, "I wanna have sex with your wife tonight, I can't help it, I can't help it!" Maybe it was just because it was a new guitar...
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Robert -
Clearly the call me when you legal is the choice. My reason is that the girl was smiling when he was singing and it looked like she was gonna take him up on it.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Nick -
FRAN HAS SEX WITH SAILORS!!! FRAN HAS SEX WITH SAILORS!!! FRAN HAS SEX WITH SAILORS!!! FRAN HAS SEX WITH SAILORS!!!
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Kyla -
"I'm going to bring that special chair I bought in Taiwan, and dress like a cherokie:"... heh I love that one, and also when he says he's going to have sex with someone , which is like every time!
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Rick3Me -
My favorite On-The-Spot-Song by Conan is "Call Me When You're Legal". Sure, some demented people out there might enjoy a different one more, or just not enjoy it, but in my humble opinion, "Call Me When You're Legal" was truly a classic. You knew he was going to make some kind of joke about the girl legally becoming her own person to do as she pleases in a week, that was a given. But there was something about the sheer bluntness of the line "Call Me When You're Legal" that was dripping with hilarity. And then, as an equally strong follow up, he said "We'll Have Sex On The Lawn", truly driving his point home. That is why "Call me When You're Legal" is the best song Conan made up based on audience members.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Celia B -
Gotta go with "Me No Speaky English" for personal reasons. Aside from the fact that the sketch was a riot in a totally un-PC way (yay!!!!), it reminds me of the summer my whole family got caught up in something we called "Speaky-Speaky". For example - "Think-box no worky - see-holes need closey" translated from "Speaky-Speaky" to English: "My brain is tired, I gotta get some rest". See how fun it is? And the whole family from my 4 year old nephew to my 70 year old parents got into it. "Speaky-Speaky" is fun for the whole family!
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Miss_Krunk -
I definitely have to say the " Call me when your legal" one. It had me cracking up for weeks. Sometimes I say it when my friends say call me...then I say ...when you're legal! hehehe. I'm really sad that school started back last week, cuz I won't be able to hear his cool songs...boohoo! Conan has TALENT!!!! :-)

LIVE@6A By Lisa M. Pugliese
August 27,1998: My 4th Conan experience.
Who knew that a ticket number can mean so much?
It started off as an average Conan taping. We stood in line, got yelled at when we sat down, went through the metal detector, up the elevator and waited upstairs. I was bored and reading my ticket when I looked at the number: 69. "Eeewwwww." I thought. I didn't give it a second thought. The pages let us in and sat us down. I sat in the second row on the band side. They apologized for running a bit late. We listened to the CD "Live From 6A" for a little while and Mike Sweeney (the warm-up guy) came out. He introduced himself and then someone screamed out:
"I have something important to say!"
"No one gives a crap. No really, what?"
The woman stood up, "Ha everyone! I'm in the front!"
Mike laughed, "Ha! The cameras will be there and you won't see a thing!" He looks somewhere else in the crowd, "Yes?"
"Today is brother Ricky's 16th birthday." a girl declares.
"Wow, you know people care when someone gets you free tickets for you birthday. You going to beg after the show? Let's give him a hand for his birthday." Everyone claps. A man gets Mike's attention.
"Yes, what?"
"He has four chins!" the man exclaims.
"Four chins? Let's see it." The man stands up and shows everyone that he has four chins. Everyone claps. "This is like a cocktail party, everyone has something interesting to say. I raise my hand.
"Yes?"
"My ticket number was 69. Does that mean I get something 'special' after the show?" everyone laughs.
"Wow, someone has been paying attention to their high school health class. I like you. Did the pages tell you the rules?"
"Yes" everyone answers.
"You can smoke crack if you want." He looks at me, "I knew you would like that." A crew member signals it's time to wrap it up.
They set the microphones and then introduced the band. They played a few songs and then Mike introduced Conan. Conan sang his song and danced with a woman. He introduced Andy. A guy screams out Conan's name. He hands him a picture the guy drew. Conan got really confused because the guy drew Conan with a big head and Andy was a monkey. I then get Conan's attention and say the thing I said before to Mike. The crowed booed me and someone screamed out
"You already used that one!"
I scream back "Come-on! The warm-up guy liked it!"
Conan says, "Isn't it great when the crowd becomes a hateful mob?"
Conan and Andy left and they started the show.
During the show when Salma Hyeck dresses Conan in the "Studio 54
Emergency Kit" One of the guys I was with screamed out "PIMP!" really loud. You have to really pay attention to hear it.
All though out the show, Andy kept looking in my direction. My friend and I waved everytime and he smiled. He raised his eyebrows a couple of times and I just smiled at him.
After the show, the rehearsed a segment for the anniversary show.
It was the Satellite TV bit. They did:
-Low Budget History Channel
-Inappropriate!
-Me and Joe
-Punch Someone in the Face Channel
-Gym Teachers Running Away with Their Students.
Everyone was asked to exit. Mike was sitting on the couch, I waved to him and he waved back. I asked a page for cue cards. She told me to wait there. She went to the cue card guy, pointed at me, and she came back with nine cue cards. She said, "This is for you, lucky number 69." I thanked her and Mike was by the bar.
I say to him "You rock my world man!"
He said "Thank you very much." I shook his hand. We left the studio. Three people asked for cue cards and I gave it to them. I kept one cue card and I gave the other five to the people who came with me to see the show. For the record my cue card says:
"Michael Flatley, The Lord of the Dance, said he's going to start a new TV show to tell people to follow their dreams."
And that, Ladies and Gentlemen, was my fourth Conan experience.

THE BONE OF CONTENTION by Micah Honees
My hobbies are playing pool, fishing, and being outdoors
OK, I don't live in New York but I live close enough (and follow NY teams) that I read the local city papers every day. I giggled like a schoolgirl watching "Titanic" when I saw that one of the more antagonistic and annoying people on this earth, Mike Lupica, was going to be a guest on "Late Night" this past Wednesday. If I remember correctly-always an iffy proposition-I believe that one time when he was on he ticked off the crowd so much that they booed "The Lip" in Studio 6A. Anyhoo, I tuned in begging-if only because it makes writing this column easier-that we'd have a repeat performance. No dice. Outside of a lame as hell bit where Lupica tried to barter for Andy's and the band's services for his own unwatchable ESPN2 show, he behaved. But, as luck would have it, another guest proved to be freaky on the same show. See what saying your prayers will get you?
That's right, pre-ops and post-ops, we had to dust off THE KNEE DEEP FREAK OF THE WEEK for a truly snappy dish named Amy Brenneman. The actress, who has a serious Sheryl Crow-thing working for her, professed a certain desire to see her co-stars', um, "goods" before love scenes in an effort to "loosen up" the mood during these tenuous and oddly stressful sex scenes in movies she has appeared in. Hmmm. Brenneman's rationale, a sound argument we all could get behind, is that filming sex scenes with someone you just met is difficult. Everyone's uptight and a little nervous so she thinks that if they can just get "the peek" out of the way that everyone will relax and it will break the ice.
"Break the ice" may have been a poor choice of words. Let's move on.
As a male of the species I have to say that while this may have proven successful (Ben Stiller, she notes, "will drop his pants for anything") in the past, I gotta say that when votes are tabulated (and they will be) that my vote will be on the side of Conan: it would make me more nervous. Stranger still is the fact that Amy left it really vague as to whether she reciprocates this little money shot of her's. But she seems like a bit of an earthy, fun-lovin' kind of girl so my guess is that under the right circumstances, you just never know. She is a self-professed smoocher, after all. Hey, now!
It's probably pretty clear that this is the kind of interview men loooooove; along the lines of the infamous Rebecca Romijn spots where the participants (ie, not me and you) are clearly attracted to each other and the conversation had a certain sparkly magnetism to it. I've said it before and I will say it again: Conan needs more women as guests on the show. And when it was all over, I wondered about how Amy Brenneman thought she really came off. When Lupica teased her about "what she does in her line of work", she scrunched up in the chair like a petulant child and proclaimed something along the lines that her career is over. (Credit Andy with the save when he quipped that being a reporter means, you know, "hanging around a lot in locker rooms".) Outside of the obligatory "Go see my movie" line at the end of the sit-down, I don't think they even talked about what the heck the movie was that she was promoting. It was perfect. Why? Because four out of five dentists surveyed told me they just didn't care.

THIS TIME LAST YEAR....
This week last year, just like this year, was another conetastic hiatus. On the Late Night menu on September 1--a repeat of June 5--the woman with the world's sexiest voice, Kathleen Turner guested alongside Ken Ober and Matthew Sweet. Matthew Sweet sang "Do Ya" which later appeared on the Late Night CD, Live From 6A. Conan and Andy had another good old-fashioned Staring Contest, which shock of all shocks, turned out to be a tie. Andy also showed the Winners of his Photo Caption Contest.
On September 2-- a repeat of June 10--comedy served up was Celebrity Resumes. Guests were Farrah Fawcett who was on, fresh from an embarrassing Letterman encounter, promoting her pay-per-view special and her Playboy cover issues. Arianna Huffington and muso group the Ben Folds Five made up the rest of the night.
On Wednesday, September 3, the artist formerly known as Kramer, Michael Richards was on the show - a repeat of June 4th. He was a very entertaining guest, and showed a remote of him going to see his own movie "Trial And Error", interrupting the audience and telling them to enjoy the show. Other guests were Peta Wilson, an Australian actress who told Conan about the beers of Australia and made him wear her very cool yellow glasses. More invaluable advice is given in Public Service Announcements and music from Jamiroquai ends the evening.
Thursday September 4 was a repeat of May 19th. Guests were Helen Hunt, Dick Clark and Late Night writer/comedian Brian Kiley. Andy takes a trip to New York's Alternative Health Expo, where he gets his aura photographed and watches a man eat grass. He ends his health kick with his own Alternative Health trip into Taco Bell. Joel Godard is depressed again and Conan shows us some disappointing scenes from the NBC mini-series "The Odyssey".
********************************************
WEEK IN REVIEW - August 24 - 28 1998
MONDAY, August 24 (Repeat of 5/15/98):
Barbara Walters,
Maria Pitillo,
Betty "The Bug Lady" Faber
Conan goes back to his old hotel room
Public Service Announcements
MONDAY Reviewed by Audrey: Conan goes back to the old hotel room NBC rented to him for his first three weeks. Aahhh....savor the memories. "I call him Pacey!" he says, recalling the employees he used to spy on in the building across the street. Rosario, the cleaning lady then comes into Conan's room. She looks a little startled, but while jumping on the bed with Conan, she asks, "Where's Andy?" Barbara Walters was the first guest. When asked why Conan was never on her show, she said that he was too big of a star. "Bigger than Jon Bon Jovi?" he asks. Of course! The second bit was the always hilarious PSA's. Marie Pitillo told Conan that he resembled her of her Uncle. Conan misunderstood, and thought she meant that he was old. In my opinion, the most interesting guest was the Bug Lady, Betty Faber who brought both male and female tarantulas so we could watch them mate (ick). They didn't, of course, so she moved to some other bugs, including cockroaches she dumped all over Conan's desk...big ones, little ones...
-----------------------------------------------------------------
TUESDAY, August 25:
"You're like the Puff Daddy of Late Night!" -Bill Bellamy on Late Night
Pam Grier
Bill Bellamy
Musical Guests Sprung Monkey
Conan Shares children's art
Public Service Announcements
TUESDAY Reviewed By Audrey: Children. You gotta love 'em for their honesty! Conan shares some Kid art they mailed him from summer camp. Among them was a picture of Hanson being sucked into the air vent by their hair. Conan and Andy said that there was something wrong with the picture, and the Internet fans would find out. Well, I think we did, and it drove us NUTS! Pam Grier talked about how people in foreign countries have just seen her movie, Foxy Brown, and how it's affecting everyone (bell bottoms, afros [on Chinese guys!], the works!). PSAs are next, and Max does his usual straightforward PSA. I find his the funniest because of that. Bill Bellamy joked about the Clinton Scandal, and praises Conan's work. Sprung Monkey was the Musical guest for this evening. Postnote: Robot on the Toilet revived!
-----------------------------------------------------------------
WEDNESDAY, August 26:
"TV's better than books!" -Conan
Tommy Davidson
Amy Brenneman
Mike "The Lip" Lupica
Guests We'll Never Have Back
WEDNESDAY Reviewed By Audrey: Guests we'll never have back was the first bit of the day. Among them was a guy with bee sting art (we were later told that he died of anaphylactic shock) and an arm wrestler that broke everybody who wrestled him's arms. Tony Davidson did wonderful dead-on impressions of various people. After that, Destructo was going to push the "Conan O'Brien Destruction Button" that would drop a bomb on sweet little Conan. He never got around to that, of course, because of all the distractions. I don't know about you guys, but that "genetically engineered finger" of his made me feel uncomfortable...Amy Brenneman has to be one of the strangest guests I have ever seen. She told about her fondness of getting her male co-actors to drop their pants so she could see "it". Mike "the lip" Lupica was the last guest, and he gave us some interesting sports insights.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
THURSDAY, August 27:
"Arrrrrrrrreba!" -Conan
Salma Hayek
Richard Branson
Musical Guest Dixie Chicks
Clutch Cargo
THURSDAY Reviewed By Audrey: President Clinton is no longer depressed! He's vacationing with Hillary, aka the Lion. I thought Salma was a pretty good guest, but most of you disagree because of her "snubbing of Andy". True, it's guest etiquette not to snub the sidekick/co-host, but I think I can talk for a lot of female viewers by saying "Hey, at least she got his shirt off!" (that doesn't make up for anything, but I thoroughly enjoyed that part.) Richard Branson did a racy interview, and was very rude-ish. He kept grabbing Salma and talked about loss of virginity. Dixie Chicks was the Musical guest.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
FRIDAY, August 28:
Brian Williams,
Lewis Black
Frank McCourt
Late Night Apologies
Gaseous Wiener
FRIDAY Reviewed By Jessica: Conan opened up the floor to anyone that needed to get something off their chest with another dose of "Late Night Apologies". With this, we learned that there's nothing like a crew member's bare buttocks to get you to wrap up the Conologue, and that we should never forget to give Andy his much needed medicine. The first guest, news anchor Brian Williams. He brought up Conan's shirtless bumping and grinding with Salma Hayek on the previous night's show, calling him the "whitest man in America" and claiming that his breasts (yep, I mean Conan's, that's not a typo) appeared huge on his big screen TV at home. Next up was comedian Lewis Black who performed some angry stand up for us. And once again Conan reminded us of the 5th Anniversary show with a little help from our good friend the Gaseous Wiener, who "you know what-ed" 16 times for us. The last guest of the evening was author Frank McCourt, who promoted his Pulitzer Prize winning novel "Angela's Ashes". All in all, a great night of television and the perfect note to end on before a two week hiatus.
