Probably what was disconcerting to me was that Conan's voice sounded very weird last night and he did nothing to explain why. I assume he's got a cold, yet he kissed Amanda Seyfried right on the lips. (And thanks to Conan for demonstrating that she is a grade A ditz.)
And I'm surprised Lisa hasn't noticed that CBS/Worldwide Pants posts clips from Dave's show on YouTube every day--why did you she use some moron pointing a camera at a TV screen? And in case you haven't seen it, here's what opened "The Voice" last night--the song may be a cliche, but it was well done. (The chorus behind Blake, Adam, Cee-Lo and Christina are all of the live show contestants for the season.): http://youtu.be/IO64urOFNaY Mark Jeffries Saints Spotlight Editor [email protected] On Tue, Dec 18, 2012 at 10:41 AM, PGage <[email protected]> wrote: > The WaPo TV critic summarizes how the late night talk show hosts addressed > the tragedy last night, the first night back: > > > http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/tv-column/post/late-night-tv-hosts-grapple-with-how-to-handle-news-of-newtown-shooting-video/2012/12/18/b7aa9f8e-491f-11e2-ad54-580638ede391_blog.html?wprss=rss_homepage > > I saw Dave of course, and was impressed as usual with his ability to deal > with issues like these in the context of his show.
