Yes, my favorite part of late night TV is Conan O'Brien's "In the Year 2000" bit. It previously annoyed me, but I love it now to the point where I hear the little "Year 2000" jingle in my head. This is one of my favorites:
(Eerie jingle) Michael Jackson's son, Prince Michael II will write a memoir in which he wistfully recalls that one glorious moment on the balcony when he nearly escaped.Har har.
Other strange news: Religious denominations love Groundhog Day. What, I wonder, is the hidden religious subtext of What About Bob? Bob as a Christ figure? Prophet?

Steve was talking about how his wife should have a pocket like a kangaroo. Conan agreed that this would be a wonderful step in the evolutionary processes, and maybe that we could all become pro-basketball players. Hop. Hop.

Also. Year 2000 was a great year, but lets make 2004 even better.
