My guesses: Guests: John Cusack Mike Ditka Paul Konerko Bernie Mac Bill Murray Andy Richter Musical Performances: Billy Corgan Kanye West Fall Out Boy All above are chicago natives or strongly affiliated with the city

I just hope that he doesn't invite Billy Corgan. Even Oprah would be better.

i'm pretty sure that as part of that same Chicago skit, Andy and Conan tied a few on at Marie's Rip Tide Lounge -- flypaper for Bucktown's hipsters at the time, '97 or so -- and that skit was on a tape loop on Marie's VCR for, oh, the rest of the nineties.

It's about time. Perhaps I should find my way to a taping. For some reason I can't find my way into New York.

Maybe Andy Richter? I think he grew up in North Center. They had a little skit way back when where Andy and Conan went back to Andy's old neighborhood. They went to the Lincoln Restaurant.

You'd think that Chicago-mainstays would be on the menu: John Cusack or Andrew Bird? God help us if it's "The Belush."
