NOTE TO PIERRE BERNARD'S RECLINER OF RAGE FANS...

The official NBC Late Night with Conan O'Brien page has finally done a major overhaul, and, while they still don't have a separate subpage for "Pierre Bernard's Recliner of Rage", the segment that has been so good to me for Google hits, they have added many new and recent pieces of video from the show, including one "Pierre Bernard's Recliner of Rage" segment that, as far as I know, hasn't been made available anywhere else for download, the one from Tuesday, March 8^th (or early Wednesday, March 9^th, for those of you time purists) wherein Pierre was complaining about Aaron at the NBC commissary not consistently stocking the same brands of juice so he couldn't get enough bottle caps of one color to make his bottle cap portraits.

On the Conan page, click "Video Moments", and it's currently on the second page of the clip index, though that's sure to change as they add more Late Night with Conan O'Brien video clips. And, no, I don't know how you can save streaming video to your hard drive, so please don't ask me.

Also of note, on Tuesday, Late Night with Conan O'Brien switched over to filming in HDTV format, meaning that, on conventional televisions, the show is now "letterboxed". This alt.fan.conan-obrien post links to some sample high resolution screencaps so those of us with conventional televisions can get some idea of what we're missing. Check out this scary shot of Conan's hand, where you can see almost every freckle and hair. Ain't technology grand?
