Afternoon Baseball

First of all, he's wearing a yellow-mustard suit that reminds me of that Craig Sager guy on TNT.

Then, despite having no presence on the show tonight, Will Arnett shows up for "In the Year 2000." It's not the first time he's done an unadvertised spot. He makes me saddest that "Arrested Development" is off the air -- he does bits of the G.O.B. character just in his bravado. Plus, he reminds me of some of the most-arrogant parts of Phil Hartman's work on "Newsradio."
Arnett's best lines:
"M.C. Hammer will find $10 million, which he will immediately burn to keep warm."
"Paris Hilton will be returned to jail after it is discovered she smuggled out 15 other prisoners -- in her vagina."

Yeah, he said that. Granted, someone else wrote it, but who cares.
Check out the video at The Will Arnett Research Project. They were kind enough to link to this post, and I've enjoyed their work before. They've also got Arnett's first "In The Year 2000" bit covered.

Steve Carell is the first guest, followed by Conan favorite Jennifer Esposito of "Spin City" and "Crash." She's also one of the guests I've seen in person, about seven years ago when she followed Chris Rock.
