Harry Connick, Jr. — musician, actor, humanitarian, and now Spore enthusiast — appeared on "Late Night With Conan O'Brien" to talk about his the latest happenings in the world of Harry Connick, Jr. Those happenings are Will Wright's latest Maxis creation and something about a Christmas album. Hopefully, Harry can be weened off his Spore addiction before anyone gets hurt — the phrase "I've taken it out on my wife now" in relation to his interstellar frustrations is hopefully more tame than it sounded at first listen.

Also, "joystick panel," Conan? I thought you were one of us. Thanks for the heads up, Kyle.
