Something like that.

Great episode.

I really like what they're doing with Lutz in the past few episodes. He's such a schlubby looking guy. Oh and this is two episodes in a row now with Lonny Ross in it. I wonder how long before Jimmy Fallon guest stars and they have an awkward encounter.

I'm wondering what has taken so long for Fallon to guest star already. He did SNL with Tina Fey for a few years (so I'm assuming they're at least friendly) and now he has his late night show. You'd think NBC would use it as a way to cross promote.

I remember reading that NBC basically had Fallon under contract and that he couldn't take on any long term projects because he was slated to replace Conan. So, no tv shows, but I guess he could do movies.

Then again maybe someone made that up. In any case, with his show off the ground now, I imagine it's only a matter of time before they have him show up.

I really wish we got more out of that hinted-at Conan-Lemon romance. Probably will never be revisited now that he's out west.

Great episode.
I'm pretty sure "synonym" is another word for the word you want to use.

A guest star spot wouldn't be considered long term. I doubt they'd have an ongoing storyline with him.

But I agree, I think it's just a matter of time.

That would make more sense. I thought they were going for something completely nonsensical. This is much better.

Jack said that someone with a "Franco-Dutch" background would pronounce it bête neuker. Bête is French for beast, but can also mean stupid, idiotic or silly and is slang for cock while neuker is Dutch for fucker.

So you either have a pocket microwave named the "Beast Fucker", the "Stupid Fucker" or the "Cock Fucker".

All seem like winners to me.

I just wonder if they put Fallon on the show whether he'd play himself or not.

I hope they keep the 9:30 slot leading into Leno and find a way to work him into the plot slamming him.
