Late Night Characters or bits
Dear Irish guy,It's a scientific fact that most whackings take place between the hours of 11:30 PM and 12:30PM across all time zones. It has come to my attention that many people in this line of work (although I must emphasize that I have absolutely NO firsthand knowledge of this) are very displeased that the Italian guy that used to do your show has been replaced by a Mick...
Conan O'Brien
I want to say I am glad that your taking over the Tonight show on NBC television.ItNice to have a young youthful up to date person on the Tonight show and up to dateon music and youthful culture...

Wow... NBC Really Wants You To Watch "Burn Notice"

Posted July 10, 02:57 PM

After my "Burn Notice" elevator freak out yesterday, our office was on high alert for anything and everything BN related - and, UNFORTUNATELY, I've got two new insane things to report.

First of all, The Best Person in The World Sharon Hardy saw something crazy on her way into work today: Outside on the 30 Rock plaza, there were 8 or 9 people all in Burn Notice Tshirts, short-shorts with Burn Notice across the ass, holding "Burn Notice" boogieboards, on rollerblades. Hardy says that they were all together posing for a picture, but she was under the impression that they were all about to zoom off in different directions to rollerblade all over the city. That is insane.

Secondly, one of our interns Scott said that he was walking through Times Square this morning and he saw a GIANT SAND CASTLE WITH THE BURN NOTICE CHARACTERS ON IT. So I sent one of our trusty interns, Ian, out to grab pic of this shameless promotion:

youvebeenburned.bmp

...Or what USED to be a shameless promotion. HA HA HA HA. Looks like some of you faithful readers got there first!! Nice work, guys. ;)

Anyway, I'm going to let it go. I'm not going to let it bother me. I'll just punch an intern in the head a couple of times, take a steam bath in Chillemi's APO Room, and then relax. (that's how I usually deal with most of life's stresses). My unhealthy fixation with ridiculous Burn Notice promotion is starting to bleed out into other areas of my life - it's affecting my work! For instance, yesterday I was so angry about those stupid Burn Notice posters that I forgot to mention a couple awesome things that happened yesterday! They are as follows:

- I went down and watched the legendary Joe Cocker during his sound check. It was incredible! He did one of my favorite songs of all time, "Feelin' Alright" - and was accompanied by Dave Mason (from the band Traffic) on guitar!! For all you younger/not-as-musically-nerdy-as-me people out there, this is cool because Feelin' Alright was originally a Traffic song that was written by none other than - you guessed it - Dave Mason!!

- The Hulk tripped while running through the brick wall out of the studio yesterday during the show!! Did you guys catch that?! To make matters even more funny, Lipton looked lost after he got out into the hall - providing us all with one of the funniest impromptu show moments in the last couple weeks! Poor Lip.

- There was a fire drill yesterday... BUT IT WAS AT 9:30AM, BEFORE ANY OF US GOT HERE!!! Ha ha ha ha. Awesome awesome awesome. One less time that I have to hide under my desk is always a good thing. ;)

And today, TODAY kids, something completely RAD went down in the Research Office:

Today I came into work to find that MY DESK HAD BEEN TOTALLY CLEANED UP. I was shocked. I was flabbergasted. I was INCREDIBLY THANKFUL. See, I am somewhat of a packrat - my Research job also means that I regularly wade through piles and piles of papers that end up strewn all over - so my desk is always a horrible mess. Well, I came in today and it had been all cleaned up and organized!! I looked around the office questioningly, with tears in my eyes, only to discover that it had been one of our interns, Alex, who had taken his own life in his hands and cleaned everything up!! Dude, THANK YOU!!!!! You are The Second Best Person In The World (Sharon's still got the lock on the top spot, bro. Sorry). Being that today is Cheesesteak Thursday here at the show (just like it is every Thursday) I bought Alex lunch as a small token of my appreciation. He said that he LIKES to clean, and that it really wasn't THAT bad, but we all know that he's lying through his teeth. But lying or not, it was an awesome gesture by an awesome intern, nay - an AWESOME HUMAN BEING. Thanks, Alex.

Speaking of awesome human beings, I didn't put up any sweet stories about Sharon Hardy yesterday... So here's two more, from Late Night Uberfans Courtney and Kat!!

"SHARON HARDY SAVED MY LIFE!!!"

"I was at a wedding doing some salsa dancing, and the guy I was dancing with, spinned me so fast that I flew out of an open window!! All of a sudden out of nowhere Sharon showed up and caught me in mid fall. She flew me back to the party. Afterwards, Sharon showed all of us some pretty savay dance moves, that didn't require such fast spinning.

Thanks Sharon!! Not only did she save my life but, now I am a much better dancer than I ever was before!!!

Kat "

And here's another one, from Courtney:

"A few years ago, I was at the local movie theater with all of my friends for my birthday party. It was in the middle of Ratouille, and it was just getting to the good part of the movie. Everyone in the audience was so captivated that no one noticed a fire had started in the back of the theater!! The movie went blank, and someone yelled, "FIRE!!" We all were screaming our heads off and trying to get out of the theater, but the doors were locked! The crowd was going into a frenzy, trying to put out the fire with various sodas and slushies that had been abandoned, but it was just making the fire bigger!! Someone found the fire alarm, but the sprinklers didn't come on!! We all started calling our loved ones on our cell phones, sure that we were going to burn to death. Just then, The Best Person In The World Sharon Hardy burst through the screen with a hugegantic fire hose!! The Best Person In The Word Sharon Hardy put out the fire within seconds!

"Is anyone hurt?" The Best Person In The World Sharon Hardy asked. Just then, The Best Person In The World Sharon Hardy saw a little girl crying in the back of the theater. The Best Person In The World Sharon Hardy used her awecellentastic powers to heal the girl and carried her back to her mom. Then, The Best Person In The World Sharon Hardy got everyone free popcorn and candy and repaired the theater!! Everyone lived happily ever after. Or did they?!?! Yes they did. Because The Best Person In The World Sharon Hardy saved them. So of course they lived. DUH.

THE END!!!!

Always Grateful,
The Best Person In The World Sharon Hardy's Biggest Fan Besides Aaron Bleyaert Because She Saved Him While He Was Pigging Out At The House Of Pies OMG I WANNA GO TO THE HOUSE OF PIES
"

Yes, Courtney. The House of Pies is delicious. Also, they don't sell T shirts, which is STUPID. At any rate, if you have any stories (real or made up) about The Best Person In The World, Sharon Hardy, send them over to sharonhardyisthebomb at gmail dot com!! Tomorrow's the last day!!! F yeah!!

Ahhh!! There are people with no faces walking around Times Square. You better be careful out there!
Count me in as a youngin' who is a music-nerd. Of course I've heard of Traffic because Steve Winwood was the lead singer and I am a fan of his work with Blind Faith. (my parents love classic rock). Whenever I see Joe Cocker I think of John Belushi's impression of him. Hahaha! One of my favorite Cocker songs would have to be the cover version of The Beatles' song "She Came In Through The Bathroom Window"
I saw The Hulk fall!!! :D Boy, "The Best Person In The World, Sharon Hardy" sure gets around. You go, girl!

-stef

***************************************************************************
Aaron Responds: Stef, you've got some cool parents!! My dad is into classical, and my mom is into that John Denver hippy folk stuff - so I had to discover sweet sweet classic rock on my own!! She came in through the bathroom window is amazing, as well - the live version, though!

Hey Bley!!!

HA, HA!!! I never would have thought that u would pick my story. I thought it was lame, but I thought what the heck. But its all true!!!

Yes, I did catch the hulk falling, I am suprised Conan didn't notice it. I hope he is ok. Is true that he owes those dues?? I loved when Lipton didn't know where to go. Those are the best moments. I love when Conan genuinely laughs. James Lipton seems so cool!!! He is such a good sport. A good friend of mine who also happens to be my Film Study professor, graduated from the New School, and he knows Lipton, cus that was his Dean. He told me he is really cool and funny.

I don't know if u will pick me again, but I am going to try to write another Hardy story, she is such a great person, I have so many stories to tell!!!!

Muah!!

Kat

P.S. How long will u guys be on until the next hiatus???

***************************************************************************
Aaron Responds: Ah, but the lameness is what made is awesome! It's all true... Ha! Yeah right!

We're only working next week, and then we've got another week off!! Madness!!

So since I am a ridiculously huge Late Night nerd, I get Conan O'Brien Google News Alerts and look what popped up in my inbox!

http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/07/10/conan-staffers-deface-burn-notice-ad/

Hehehe you guys made the news = )

***************************************************************************
Aaron Responds: Yeah!!! I saw that!! That was extremely nice of TVSquad.com to mention us. Thanks guys!!!

Aaron,
I thought your poster comments were funny, and it's totally okay to obsess about ubiquitous things like ads for Burn Notice. I just really wish you had a picture of those roller-skatin' crazies. I'm glad awesome things happened to you yesterday/today. The staff of Late Night is really awecellent, and please keep up the good work.
(I felt the need to positive-it-up after reading the comments from yesterday.)

***************************************************************************
Aaron Responds: Me too... Unfortunately, Hardy (TBPITW) didn't have a camera with her!! Oh well.

And thanks for positiving it up! I'm always a fan of happiness!!!

bley!!
my gosh. how much more advertising can you do?!? sandcastles and rollerblading?? that's just crazy dude.
And i am jelous that you got to see joe cocker and dave mason! another one of the many perks for working at LN.
I was cracking up at that shot after hulk tripped through the "brick wall;" those after shots just before the doors close are always the best!
hiding under your desk for a fire drill?? that's earthquakes, dude. if there was a real fire you would be toast. literally. DANG NOW I WANT TOAST!
and thanks for putting my story in the "Sharon Hardy Saved My Life" files! and that sucks that they don't have t-shirts. i would buy like 50 if they did.
oh, and i found a little site called www.labambaandthehubcaps.com! LOL!!
take care everyone!
ps- cloverfield was AWECELLENT!! i'm going to watch it again tomorrow! and the next day. not really.

***************************************************************************
Aaron Responds: No problem, Courtney! Thanks for writing such a great Sharon Hardy story!

And as for TShirts... I'm working on it!

Do you really have to hide under your desk during a fire drill? Usually they have you evacuate or something...Safer than staying in the building. =]

I knew Hulk tripped! I couldn't really tell if it was staged or not, but it was hilarious either way!

***************************************************************************
Aaron Responds: Well, I don't HAVE to... But it's such a pain to walk all the way down the stairs and outside to our meeting point, etc etc. They hate it when I don't evacuate... Especially because I'm supposed to be one of the people who helps get everyone out of the building! Oops!

And trust me... The Hulk thing was completely a mistake!

Sand castle...

http://www.flickr.com/photos/ericbpromotes/2657187256/

***************************************************************************
Aaron Responds: Now that... Is pretty sweet. See, if they had built sand castles in the elevators, I WOULD BE ALL FOR IT.

Wow. It seems like Sharon Hardy, the Best Person in the World (but certainly not the weirdest, since I own that title), is a pretty skilled flyer. ... or is it flier? Dunno.
I must say that the blue suit Conan wore last night really brought out his eyes. Made him look extra snazzy. That's right, snazzy.
And I meant his hair was noticeably cut. Like, usually there's a little tendril hanging over his forehead, even when it's gelled up, but it was absent.
Me mum's not letting me watch TV past nine today. But I understand. I've stayed up to watch LN three nights this week, and I didn't want to stay up the whole week otherwise my sleep patterns would get all screwed up, but I needed someone to help me stay away.
This is turning into quite a lengthy comment.
Yes, I did catch the Hulk's fall! And Jipton(that was a complete accident, but I suppose that's what I'm calling him now)'s expression right after it. It looked like he was concerned. Which is lovely.
uhm... I'm too brain-dead to think of a noun. You got anything?

************************************************************************
Aaron Responds: Isn't "Brain" a noun?

Hiding under a desk? Don't you know in a fire you are supposed to run really fast so the flames get really big? Trust me, it is a Burn that shall be Noticed without all the hoopla of advertising. Wow, I have to teach you everything.

Sorry I didn't get around to my Sharon story. I have been busy trying to kick some hack's butt at a friendly game of Scrabble. :P

***************************************************************************
Aaron Responds: Is that true? I know nothing. Clearly.

You, as a brainwashed corporate monkey, almost convinced me to go watch Burn Notice.

Was your desk cleaned in a way that you couldn't find your stuff anymore? That's really cool of Alex. I wish someone would come to my house and clean.

The La Bamba bashing last night was hilarious! Al Roker hit him with some low blows, though. I'm surprised the picture of La Bamba from the hubcaps ( http://www.labambaandthehubcaps.com/photomonth.htm ) didn't show up on the show. He seemed like a total badass.

Have you ever tried a pupusa? They're amazing.

Sharon Hardy is the best person in the world!

************************************************************************
Aaron Responds: You should have! Now I'm curious as to what went down! Did someone get burned? Or notified?! I NEED TO KNOW!!

A pupusa? No I have not. What is that?

That dance troupe was amazing. They're very talented. I love how they did Conan's head!


************************************************************************
Aaron Responds: WASN'T THAT INCREDIBLE?!?? Be sure to watch tonight... As Joel shows America his OWN version!!

Aaron,

I'm very sorry about your kitty. Losing a pet is heart breaking! We never get over the loss of a pet but we learn how to live without them! Your kitty is probably happy as can be watching over you from kitty heaven!

Did you notice on HULU how there's a computer error? It says I'm subscribed to stuff I didn't subscribe too and watched things I didn't watch! They don't show my subscription to the Addams Family but it does show my phoney Family Guy subscription! I hate the Family Guy! Why is that popular?

Is Bruce Campbell on Burn Notice? I have never seen it. I Love Bruce from the Evil Dead Trilogy, his other crazy movies, and his tv shows including Jack of All Trades which is available on HULU! HULU has all 22 episodes (many of which I missed when they were on tv!) HOORAY FOR HULU!!!

It's a really funny show about an American spy and a British spy who team up to defeat Napoleon's colonization of a small island.

Cindy

************************************************************************
Aaron Responds: Thank you, Cindy. It was rough, but at least my cat went quick. Thanks for the kind words!

Bruce Campbell IS on Burn Notice! And he's pretty funny - he plays an ex-CIA agent, I think!

Hmm... I haven't noticed a computer error on Hulu, but it's been a few days since I was on there!! Hopefully it'll be resolved soon!!!

Dear Conan,

We are very interested in requesting your review for story consideration my client Derek Amato. Derek's story is riveting and I can personally assure you will be absolutely amazed! Four days after recovering from a serious head trauma after a swimming accident, Derek discovered the sudden ability to compose and play several musical instruments. Derek had no prior musical education or training, and had never touched a piano in his 40 yrs of life. Derek was selected by the Association of Independent Artists as the 2007 Independent Artist of the Year, and provided the single "Fly With Me" for the Japanese film documentary. Derek's story has been covered by all media facets throughout the world. We kindly request you take a moment to explore this amazing experience, as Derek is considered one of twelve documented cases of this nature in the world. Derek has a very unique personality and is very charming to interview. This is something you have to see to
believe! Please find FOX Television interview attached for your review. More information can be found by simply googling Derek Amato music, or by visiting the myspace music page. I can be reached with further questions, or to discuss scheduling Derek on Conan. Thank you in advance, we look forward to hearing from you.

Best,

Aaron Responds: Hey William! Thanks for your comment. I think you'd be more successful if your agency contacted our Talent department directly. Thanks very much, though! It sounds like a fascinating story!

Aaron,
Thank you so much Aaron for your response. I have looked everywhere for direct contact information for the talent department, could you possibly forward the information (email, phone) to me at *********@yahoo.com

Thanks again for your help and kind words!

Best,
