Hm.\u00c2\u00a0 From a review<\/a>, or actually all of the reviews<\/a>, of Conan O’brien’s opening Stage Show in Eugene, Oregon.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Believe it or not,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Mr. O\u00e2\u20ac\u2122Brien said. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153This is the first time anyone has ever paid to see me. Don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t get me wrong: They\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve paid to make me to go away.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/em><\/p>\n

Someone paid him about $10 for seats to see him back in 1988<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Three script writers from “Saturday Night Live” are sitting out the writers strike by providing an improvisational revue, “The Happy Happy Good Show,” at Victory Gardens Studio Theater.<\/em><\/p>\n

The show features the three writers-Conan O’Brien, Bob Odenkirk and <\/em>Robert Smigel-along with four other players: Rose Abdoo, Hugh Callaly, Debby Jennings and Dave Reynolds. Mark Nutter, of Friends of the Zoo, directs. One approaches the show with some measure of anticipation.<\/em><\/p>\n

From another review of this long forgotten stage show, where Saturday Night Live writers\u00c2\u00a0killed time during during a Writer’s Strike by putting on a show…<\/p>\n

“Happy Happy“ also gives Smigel and the six other comics (several, like him, veterans of the long-running “All You Can Eat and the Temple of Dooom“) the chance to try out stuff that may not fit the “SNL“ format or was rejected by NBC censors. ([…] Smigel: “Take our very theatrical finale, where we make wacky predictions about the year 2000; it uses dark silhouettes and a deliberate pretentiousness that just wouldn`t work on TV.“ <\/em><\/p>\n

As for the show in Eugene, guaging how Conan O’brien and his staff interprets the “Intellectual Property” rights — apparently there was an appearance from the (already predicted) Self Pleasuring Panda… \u00c2\u00a0and they’re saying phooey on Triumph, able to claim him as he originated elsewhere.
\nYet they won’t dare run to “In the Year 2000”.<\/p>\n

A question about TBS, though.\u00c2\u00a0 Apparently promotions have started right from the gate.\u00c2\u00a0 Isn’t it overkill to roll through to November?<\/p>\n
