Conan O'Brien plans to wax his back...

Conan O'Brien plans to wax his back hair before hosting Sunday's Emmys. "I like my corpse to be as aerodynamic as possible," he says.

still the big crazy hair onward his head stays.

"I'll be checking with the weather services shortly before the program to papal court just what kind of lift we can achieve," he says.

"If the humidity get by hearts a little high, and we're in a gentle pressure system, the hair attend tos to fall on the forehead. If we learn just the right conditions, it can be athwart 14 feet high."

I room for expectation you don't expect O'Brien, 43 to talk seriously about a great deal of

Here's his advice for Emmy nominees:

"Posture is incredibly important. And disdain for the other nominees."

He does indicate seriously that "Late Night With Conan O'Brien" isn't coming back to Chicago anytime at so early an hour O'Brien brought "Late Night" to the Chicago Theatre for a week in May.

"We had a really sport year between Finland and Chicago," O'Brien says. "I think those are sum of two units of my favorite things that we've done forward the 'Late Night' show in 13 years, and the fact that they were 13 month apart was exciting."

In individual bit, O'Brien and comic actor Jeff Garlin visited a Wrigleyville apartment they roommated in in 1988 and ground a guy there harboring a Jagermeister machine and a "vomit bucket"

on the other hand it's too expensive to take the exhibit to on the road all the time, and he wants to spread the regard with affection to other cities, he says.

"There's a chance that maybe we could do that nearest year, maybe in the same month May, in a different city. But" he says, "if you did it all the time, I don't think I'd have that kind of life and excitement about it."

Last month there was a bit of a wrinkle in O'Brien's long-term plan to take throughout Jay Leno's "Tonight Show" in 2009 Leno has promised to grade down then and hand the baton to O'Brien.

yet in July, NBC executives said Leno appeared to be having second cogitations about leaving the air, although that could just mean Leno will do something besides at the network.

Whatever the deal is, O'Brien expresse confidence in the handoff.

"I've nuncupative to Jay many times since [the retirement announcement]. He's been nothing if it be not that gracious about the whole transition. It's still a prolonged way off."

O'Brien hasn't pondering about moving "The Tonight Show" back to recent York, where it was based until 1972 and where he stages "Late Night."

"I haven't on a level gotten into that. I can't think six month in advance. I have brace small children. That part of my brain died a extended time ago," he says.

"We may do it from Cincinnati, which is what I'm pushing for. hardly any people know when you don't behold a celebrity, they're in Cincinnati. We don't know wherefore but that's where they are."

In the short terminus it's just the Emmys forward his plate. People at fireside should prepare assiduously to watch the point out he says.

"I think the viewers should remember TV is sacred. There's nothing more important than television. And they should disburse the day in quiet reflection waiting for this incredible event"

Wait, he's got the same last hairbrained thing to say.

"If anything's gonna attract viewers to an Emmys in late August, it's gonna be: More the public with plasma sets have a chance in the widescreen format to papal court all of my hair in HD I think that's the attraction. It's not about attractive women in gown and celebrities. It's really about my hair in the of the present day HD technology."
