Ebert and Roeper on the Tonight Show. They argued in front of Jay. A lot for show. A little because they were engaged in debate. Generally, people don't argue in front of an audience like that. People usually just state their opinions and discuss them like adults on those kind of talk shows. Ebert and Roeper get a two thumbs down for that lame performance, kinda like the acting in A Walk to Remember. That Simon guy from American Idol also takes things quite far in terms of what he says, which makes you wonder if he really thinks like that (or question his existence). However, sometimes what he says does contain a grain of truth, but that's only sometimes.

And sometimes, Conan comes up with funny stuff without trying too hard, like Partner thinks. First he starts off with a stupid tidbit I didn't catch elsewhere --- GWB tried to catch Stevie Wonder's attention by waving at him from the audience. Genius President. Then Conan busts out the Jesus statues. Jesus playing baseball. Jesus running track. In second place. Jesus playing basketball. Taunting kids with the ball. Jesus playing hockey. In a Robe. Jesus and football. #21 tackles Jesus. Jesus and Golf. Jesus and Tae Kwon Do. Great stuff. Thirdly, Conan takes us on a 50's-like documentary about how to get into his show and shows how you just take a ticket from a glaze-eyed guy standing next to an elevator, how you meet Joel Goddard (the announcer) in the elevator, how he spaces out, and stares at you, how a pre-show comedian picks his nose and rubs his boogers on you and laughs hysterically, how the band walks in and dances with its pants off, how Conan struts in complaining to his 3 female assistants, how he gives a fake smile when he sees the viewer, how he begs the viewer to laugh at his jokes and how he will go away if you do, and finally, how you'll be locked in as the show's prisoner. I'm gassed out like one of Ray's cars.
