No no no! That's not what I meant at all!I was joking around that sometimes I visit this forum forgetting that it's FOT-related. It was a self-deprecating comment to make me look like a dunce.
I think almost all comedians use pre-written material on talk shows, and most or all of the celebrities have most or all of their conversation plotted out beforehand. Or if they don't it might come off an incoherent piece of crap like Ryan Seaquest's stabs at mocking Simon Cowl before Patton came on.

It sounded like Conan would ask him a question to set him up for a story and then Ryan answered him with the wrong stories.

My sense was that the idea was that ryan was going to rib simon, but it seemed like conan was setting him up, assuming he had something good, but then ryan was trying to improv the ribbings or something and conan seemed (to me) genuinely annoyed. I think conan said something like "You've managed to alienate everyone in the world" after seacrest made some angela lansbury(berry?) crack, which, maybe I'm projecting, but I took to be kind of half-sincere, as in "You are an asshole".
I'll give him the high five thing, but I couldn't help thinking of Paul F. Tompkins' bit about how people like it when beautiful hollywood actresses were tomboys as kids, but no one is on board with handsome hollywood men that were sissies.
