Conan’s long-planned bits:
· The run across America was an excellent start.
· Joe Biden whispering his favorite Mexican foods into Justice nominee Sotomayer’s ear while the President was introducing her, and then asking her if she had the swine flu, was funny—but really, the credit has to go to V/P Joe, both for his usual delightful wit, and for graciously allowing Conan to use the tape in his inaugural show.
· The too-long bits about the Universal bus tour and driving the old Taurus were pretty lame, especially given the amount of time Conan had to work on them.
· First feature guest Will Ferrell’s schtick seems to me to be just constantly dead-panning very dumb stuff. But, maybe Jim Carrey saw the sorry Universal and Taurus bits, and turned Conan down. Big Papi had the day off, maybe Brookline-bred, Harvard-educated Conan could have gotten Pap to explain himself.
· Andy Richter is certainly gonna have us missing Kevin Eubanks.
· I’m afraid quirky Conan’s gonna wear thin long before 17 years. (Not that Jay or Johnny ever wore thin.)
