Jaunted Goes Behind-The-Scenes At The Tonight Show
Last week we measured exactly how "L.A." Tonight Show host Conan O'Brien and his comedic antics have been thus far (the answer: "Sooooo L.A."), and today, we give you an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at a show taping experience. You already know how to score free tickets, but what happens once you receive the coveted e-mail confirmation that you—yes, you—will spend an afternoon around the likes of Conan, announcer Andy Richter and The Max Weinberg 7?
In the Waiting Line
One of the instructions you'll receive in the confirmation from NBC is to arrive no later than 3:30 PM for the taping, which starts promptly at 5:00 PM. There is a special paid lot designated for parking on Universal Studios' grounds, but if you're willing to walk a few blocks, you can find neighborhood parking around the corner off of Cahuenga. Be sure to note street restrictions, though, because Universal's $8 fee beats a $40-60 parking ticket any day.
Much more after the jump...

Three Months Into 'The Tonight Show,' Conan Goes Native In LA
Conan O'Brien, who we love for his flaming red pompadour and self-deprecating humor, is just over three months into his tenure as host of The Tonight Show. Taking over the role vacated by his smug comic counterpart Jay Leno required a move to Los Angeles, a major change for the East Coast-born-and-bred O'Brien, though we should note that he has lived in LA before, when he was working as a writer on an HBO show.
New York's subway system is countered by LA's Beemer-packed freeways and a metro line with limited city stops. New York has blistering winters, while LA has seen temperatures in the '80s in January. Suffice it to say, the cities couldn't be more different, so we've been wondering how Conan has acclimated to the change, and just how Angeleno this New Yorker can get. Exactly how long will it be until he adopts Valley girl-speak? Let's find out, after the jump.

How To Score Tickets To Conan O'Brien's Tonight Show
After months of build up and speculation, we'll finally see tonight how Conan O'Brien does as the host of The Tonight Show. On Friday, Jay Leno passed the torch to Conan on what he dubbed, "the season finale of The Tonight Show with Jay Leno."
During the interview, Conan gave an audience member, Christian Boback, two tickets to his first show since Christian is the only known person to be at both the last live taping of The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson and Jay's first taping in 1992.

Nothing Funny About Enfranchisement
Conan O'Brien is incredibly ill-disguised as he waits at a Manhattan polling place to cast his vote yesterday. Funny, he looks a lot shorter on TV.
Celebs who weren't getting out the vote brought themselves to the polls yesterday in a year of higher than average turn-out. British-born Anna Wintour waited in New York's SoHo with the plebes--no red carpet into the poll station. And Diddy, whose 2004 "Vote or Die" movement proved a lot of young people would actually rather die than vote, brought news cameras into the voting booth with him.
But Tim Robbins found himself a victim of voting irregularities when his name was missing from the local rolls. Apparently Robbins protested being handed a provisional ballot, whose impact has been shown to be questionable when it comes to the final tally.
