golden globe speeches, will arnett on conan, and youtube
I hate Firefox for fucking crashing. All the time. In the middle of posting, eating, humping, brushing, douching, scratching, cooking, biting, delousing, twisting, showering, walking, sleeping, shitting. Fuckity fucky motherfuck.
Anyways, youtube is a video hosting web service. I first heard about it when the "Chronicles of Narnia" video hit the internet. Here is a nice greasemonkey script for Firefox that allows you to download youtube videos. You can also just edit the youtube link like this.
Conan does an interview every once in a while in which he and the guest just click on all cylinders. I see these a few times a year, but they probably happen more often. This happened when he recently interviewed the very gifted Will Arnett of "Arrested Development". Here is the video link.
Also, Golden Globe speeches from Steve Carrell ("The Office") and Hugh Laurie ("House M.D."):
"Wow, I, uh, I really did not expect this so I didn't write anything. However, my wife did and handed me something. Um, I'd like to thank the Hollywood Foreign Press for this great honor. I would also like to thank my wife, Nancy, for her constant support and for being so beautiful tonight. That's true. Thanks also to Ricky Gervais and Steven Merchant for creating such a wonderful, ground breaking piece of television and to Greg Daniels for his talent, courage, and sheer audacity. This is good, thank you. Uh, also to my wife, for giving me two wonderful children as painful as her labor might have been. Thanks also to an excellent cast, crew, and writing staff all of whom I am indebted to. If were not for you, I would not be here right now. I don't know about that. Steve Sower, Michelle Bowen, Matt Labog, Holly Berell...Nancy, my precious wife, who put her career on hold in support of mine and who sometimes wishes that I would let her know when I am going to be home late so she can schedule her life which is no less important than mine. To my parents for not making me go to law school. And finally to the love of my life, my wife Nancy. Thank you very much. This is a very great honor."

"Oh my goodness, thank you so much. Thank you to the Hollywood Foreign Press Association for this. This is absolutely terrific. On the way over here I made a list of all of the people who deserve to be thanked. (pauses) It came to 172 names. (looks up) Um. You ready?
Uh, well I thought obviously can't do that so I wrote down the 172 names, put them on little individual pieces of paper. I have them in my left-hand trouser pocket. I'm just going to draw out three at random, and everyone else can just lump it.
Ughh. Gonna give it a shake. (draws out the first name) I'd like to thank the script supervisor Ira Horowitz. (tosses paper on floor). (draws out second name) I'd like to thank the hair stylist Diana Akree. (draws out third name, looks at it, then tosses it to the ground in disgust). Oh, to hell with that. (draws out another name). I'd like to thank my agent Christian Hodell. (looks at it closely) That's not my handwriting. (pauses) Oh, he's good..."
