question of the day: Should Jon Stewart be afraid of Conan O’Brien?

Jon Stewart interviewed George Lucas at Celebration, the big annual *Star Wars* convention…
you’re not helping: George Lucas now out to ruin fans
Not content to have spoiled the childhoods of a generation of geeks, George Lucas is now out to appropriate our memories…
deep thought (re watching one’s words while guesting on a talk show)
Liev Schreiber should be required to sit still for a burn from Jon Stewart’s new goatee for spoiling *Salt* on *The Daily Show* tonight.
