I love it when the first guest on a talk show, always a FAR bigger name than the second guest, stays for the second guest and the musical act. A classy move. What usually happens, though, is that the star’s handlers get them there, shove them onto the set, they respond to a set of pre-approved “questions” (“I understand you recently had an interesting experience on an airplane…”), pimp their latest project, and get out of town.
Jesse Eisenberg (The Squid and the Whale, Zombieland, and most recently, The Social Network) was on Conan on Thursday, and was a class act. He was funny, self-effacing, and most importantly, stayed on the couch through the Venus Williams interview and the Decemberists’ song. Great move, Jesse, now I like you even more.

Isn’t it great that we have a God who accepted expiation once and for all? Who doesn’t require that we keep punishing ourselves (by filling our homes with animals who think they’re smarter than us)?
