She works at the one on Broadway and Times Square -- 46th Street location. She always has the early shift -- she's outta there by 6pm.

I thought it was hysterical! "Let Abe in!"

Thanks for your help, guys! I hope she's not out the day I go there for lunch! Does anyone know if she signs after her shift?

And the gaydar had the special note: Do not use at the Tony's.

Krysta and Brian were dying...lol.

Donna is just an ok waitress...maybe I caught her at a bad time but she dropped my pasta and we had to get a free fake frozen italian dessert.

anyway any of the people who interviewed him still were on Conan so they get like a 5 second exposure.

I absolutely loved it! I agree, that a rubber dog puppet won't exactly hurt Broadway ; ) I don't exactly feel bad for Broadway actors, they're extremely lucky. Chenoweth and Sutton Foster, I think they're doing just fine.

LOL and Murray has just dozed off...

the video will be up soon!

Do you people who are offended know what an insult comic is? And how seriously they should be taken? Particularly when they are a rubber dog?

Incidentally, I sat next to Robert Smigel's parents at Avenue Q. Or at least two old people who claimed to be. And I can't see why you'd lie about that.

I do think the "who's who of who cares" is hilarious.


And I'm considering going to the Olive Garden just for Murphy when I'm in New York. I don't care if she drops anything.

"Quite tragic when people don't have a sense-of-humor about anything -- themselves, their religion, their sexual preference, their lives."

Just because I didn't find Triumph the Insult Comic at the Tonys funny? Really?

The best "in on the joke" moment was Martha Plimpton turning around and letting Triumph sniff her ass, after which he finally remembered who she was and all the movies she's been in.

Now we're sure she works at the one in Times Square and not the one is Secaucus? I'd really hate to get all the way down there and find out she's at another location.

I actually think that whoever put the segment together knows something about theater. For example, I thought it was hilarious that the two people they showed when they were saying that everyone there were "nobodies" were Julie White and Jay Johnson, who of course were two winners that night whom we all recognize but are unknown to 99.9% of the population. And I also thought they did a great job in picking Donna Murphy for the Olive Garden joke, since she is obviously not working at a "civilian" job anytime soon while there are some other attendees for whom the joke might have struck a little close to home. And considering what Harvey Fierstein said during the ceremony itself, I don't think he could have bothered by what Triumph said to him. All in all, I thought it could have been much more mean than it was.

you're right, the staff at "Late Night" is very aware of theatre and the arts. Conan loves musicals and actually tap danced as a kid. and in interviews with different writers, like Smigel for example, sometimes they'll make these very obscure references to theatre that not many people would get. Conan based his famous Simpsons episode "Marge vs. the Monorail" on The Music Man, his favorite musical. and he was offered the role of Harold Hill in the revival but had to turn it down due to scheduling conflicts. sorry for this ranting, but I am a huge fan of Late Night and Conan, so when that and Broadway mix I am very happy!!

the video is up!! Usually NBC cuts a minute or two out of the original airing when they put it on the web, but it's still very entertaining!!

That's THE funniest thing I have ever seen!! lol

I can't believe they didnt let Abe in.

How can you not adore Donna Murphy after seeing that?! I'm glad other people recognize the Goddess in her! She is beyond hilarious! I loved the "Who the hell is the masked man"? "Okay, god bless you...".

[Lizzya9]

Posted: 6/13/07 at 8:35pm

I'm so glad other people like it!!

I love Donna, she was such a trooper! Abe should have been let in. LOL = )

Wait, Kringas seems pretty convinced that Donna works at the Olive Garden.....is this true? I mean it's Triuph the king os sarcasm. But does she actually work there?

I can't believe they made out. Brilliant.
