I found and enjoyed one of Sarah Vowell's Salon pieces from a couple of months ago on Andy Richter and his decision to leave Late Night with Conan O'Brien. I'm so glad someone has finally said:

It is understandable why Andy Richter is quitting "Late Night": Not because of the first half of the show, in which he is a vital participant, but because of the second half, when he has to sit in a chair on the set, McMahon-like, and not say a word. It's a waste.

Max Weinberg is returning to the show from his tour with Bruce Springsteen. --Hey neat, I didn't know Max "presented" these compilation albums. Some decent selections, though it sounds like these are only special for Max's liner notes.

From the Wired review of Toy Story 2, it sounds like it may live up to my expectations. See also a Salo n story.
