Has anyone else noticed that Dr. Joyce Brothers, who is a friend of the show, has disappeared from it? The last time I remember seeing her was a long, long time ago (2001-2002) where Conan was going through some shameless stunts that the show was going to pull to get in the ratings, and in one part of the bit, Dr. Joyce came thrugh the double doors on stage and said "Conan, if you're struggling to get guests, you know you can have me on the show anytime." Then, Conan completely ignored her and went on with the bit. (No kidding.)

Oh Dr. Joyce! How I long for the days when you replaced Godzilla in Tokyo, or when you and Abe Vigoda played competitive Hungry, Hungry Hippos together on stage. You were even left out of the 10th anniversary special: not even a video clip mention.

We miss you, Dr. Joyce! Come back to the show soon!

Dr. Joyce was just on in one of the new characters sketches in bed with a drunken Brian McCann. Also pretty recently in a Jerry Butters sketch, McCann was interviewing her.

I noticed that. We should make our own version of the anniversary special, chock full o' Dr. Joyce Brothers.

I think McCann would back you on that 100%.

Oh my goodness! "Back me."

The really disturbing thing about those pictures is that McCann looks like he's really going at it, and Dr. Joyce is just....laying there. Like she's about to wake up and go "sniff...snort--Is it in yet?"

But thank you for letting me know that Dr. Joyce is still around and kicking. That's what happens when you don't have TV!

SonOfJoel

Oh my goodness! "Is it in yet?" NO! Please, no!!!!

The name of that character was the "drunk guy spooning Dr. Joyce Brothers" ... Despite what it looks like, there clearly was no motion in the ocean involved (while the cameras were rolling, that is).

There are many a perverted and disturbing thing I can stomach thinking about. But Brian McCann and Dr. Joyce Brothers is not one of those things. Pretty much anyone and Dr. Joyce Brothers is not in the "Severina can handle it without losing her lunch" category.
:Shudder: Not right...

Still not clean...

They went with the character Prince Big Tongue. They stood next to the prince holding his extra long tongue for him, and then they got slapped with it.

And you bought a lighter in honor of me? What? Silly, you should've bought a shot glass in honor of me!

Do I seem like that much of an anarchist?

Good luck convincing Sev to go to breakfast!

Where I live has nothing to do with my "political leanings".

I've only been in NY for 3 days out of my life, but no I didn't go to Burger Planet. I don't really eat very much meat anyhow. I mostly eat meat imposters. (yes, there's probably a dirty joke in there somewhere)

Wait Padre, you went to Harvard? At the same time as Conan? I think Conan graduated in '85.

It's cool that you went to college with Conan, even if you didn't know him. I take it you weren't involved in the Lampoon...

Conan also had a housemate at Harvard who became a priest in the Boston area - Paul O'Brien (unrelated to Conan). I'm sure you probably know him. He married Conan and his wife back in '02.

Also what were you doing working at Genentech if you don't mind me asking??

Oh dear. Yes, there is, LNG, but in the words of the immortal Pernod, "I can't possibly comment." But you're right--it's only a matter of time before Mad Cow gets into the American food supply, so I gave up beef more than two years ago. Pork and chicken are good sometimes, if you like unprescribed antibiotics. I've come to really love boca burger, but of course Conan despises all things vegetarian, and it shows in his cholesterol levels. Oh well, us meat avoiders have to stick together, right?

SonOfJoel

Padre - That's cool! You met the priest who married Conan! If I lived near Boston I'd actually go to church! I'd want to hear Fr. Paul's homily. Maybe he'd tell a story from the Harvard days ? I might want to hear a homily of yours too. Yep, there was an article in the Boston Globe about him and some friends, including Conan, raising money to build a "meal center".

What does an unladen swallow have to do with biotech?


SonOfJoel - Yay, a fellow supporter of boca burgers. It is very obvious Conan despises meat imposters. I think he even made a comment once in a print interview about how he'd never be caught dead eating a veggie burger because of his Irish-ness and it driving him to eat meat. But one of his sisters is actually a vegetarian. During an interview on Late Night, he told a story about her having a tofurkey at Thanksgiving. Of course he's also said one time after he got his cholesterol level checked, the nurse offered to walk him out to his car.

If you'are going to avoid red meat you better take iron pills and have your blood checked for iron deficiency anemia (see your doctor). And if you're like Popeye and 'eats your spinach', beware, too much spinach as well as other greens hinder absorption of calcium. So be sure to take your calcium pills (500 mg) 3 times a day because you are losing calcium everyday, like it or not, spinach or not. Other than that, I can't possibly comment.

Olive (Ohhhh! Pop eye!)

Your shoe-phone is ringing, double-oh-nine.


Pernod

Ha ha--I don't know how I missed this response, but it's posts like this that make you all love me--hee hee!

SonOfJoel

Fallin' down on the job, SoJ!!!!
We do love you...even when you make us think horrible, horrible things...

What do you mean Padre? Why don't I ever get you?

Okey...?

All ^that stuff makes sense to Padre, but I guess it has something to do with his ablitly to pick winning sports teams.

I've always fancied myself as a sort of Rizzo in "Grease"...just without all the whoring around.

Hey Padre you seem into Irish stuff have seen anything about the ploughing championships or our Berties troubles?

The Cards are falling apart fast and to me, are one of the biggest disappointments of this season, but it could be worse i guess...?

Padre what happened to you predicting scores and **** like that?

sorry about the cursing I forgot about the whole priest thing!

That'll be fun. Except I ing DESPISE the Yankees!
and Detroit's gonna fall apart. I can see it. Padre what do you think about Athletics and Twins?

Mon coeur, mon ame, mon amour, rien? dites-moi ce que vous voulez.

Padre you know i can only speak (or at least attempt to) in English and French, not Italian.
Go learn Italian yourself i ain't doing your dirty work for you!

For shame, Padre! A priest from the Boston area posting about Italians on a Irish guy from Boston's message board! You should know that the Irish and the Italians didn't get along in this town for a very long time. Haven't you seen "Far and Away?"

So... is that a yes or a no in terms of wanting/needing my help?!?

I guess I could always teach myself Italian...

One thing I've never been sure of, how does Conan factor into your predictions?

If you send anything (which I strongly discourage, BTW) I suggest sending it to:
Late Night with Conan O'Brien
30 Rockefeller Plaza
New York, NY

I hope you sent it to 30 Rock.

Padre, I'll do it for you. "A tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing"?

Am I right?

SonOfJoel

Don't get angry! Angry = bad.
Margaritas are tasty, what do you have against them?!

Einstein had ideas. One night while his wife was in the kitchen washing dishes, he appeared in the doorway and said "I have an idea".


Masque

Ok Padre I may be misreading that (I was up late and in college early) but I get the impression you arent too happy with Mr. O'Brien!?

Ummm... thanks. And your welcome for the help I guess!

padre doesn't love me like he loves SCZ... or Sev... or LNG... or paid2watch... or Masque.... i could go on and on :'(

i feel unwanted....

haha what exactly makes you evil?!? I'm pretty sure you don't want me to guess the answer!

Hey what about you and me?

what about you and me? padre just doesn't like us, he like the ladies with the fancy names...

Padre is Santa Claus.

as long as those poor reindeer aren't under the influence ahem ahem
