Krya Sedgwick Blurts About a Demo Steve Jobs Never Showed Us

This morning's Fake Steve Jobs post warns of the inevitable media backlash against Apple. (Thanks, Scoble, for the tip.) Fake Steve, as usual, offers truth, wisdom, comedy, and darn good writing. I think he's right about the backlash. When Christopher Escher was doing PR at Apple, he called it the clock theory: when you're at the top of the clock (noon), it's time for the media to start predicting your fall. When you hit bottom (six), it's time for the comeback story.

But it ain't happening yet.

Early Friday morning on Conan, Kyra Sedgwick gave Steve and Apple a priceless plug, asking us to imagine a demo that, so far, has never made it into a Steve Jobs Keynote.

CONAN:
I’m curious about something. Your career is, of course, going very well, but this must be a little difficult—your husband, of course, Mr. Kevin Bacon, lives in New York with the kids. This is, uh, so you’ve got to keep this relationship going long distance. That’s gotta be difficult

KYRA:
Yeah, it’s hard. You know, but there’s the phone and there’s iChat.

CONAN:
iChat!

KYRA:
Yeah

CONAN:
Is I chat..? You find that better than the phone?

KYRA:
Yaah. Because you know, you can see each other and… (long pause, lips pursed). Let’s just say I’m really grateful for Steven Jobs.

CONAN:
Right. Right.

KYRA:
He’s kept my marriage together.

CONAN:
Right. So... it gets kinky over iChat? Is that what you’re suggesting?

KYRA:
Maybe. Sometimes.

CONAN:
You know I dfon’t think that’s what… I think when they came up with the computer, they weren’t… that wasn’t their first thought. Maybe it was?

KYRA:
But It was there second thought. Let me tell you. Because, I mean, I Chat, I mean realy. What are people gonna use that for

CONAN:
But how hot and heavy can it get on iChat.. I mean, I’ve experienced that a little bit. It doesn’t look like you can really be whoo-whoo-whoo- (pantomimens lifting his shirt to flash his chest) It doesn’t look that exciting to me.

KYRA:
You have to use your imagination. No it’s good though. It’s gotten better and better.Maybe you don’t have the right camera.

CONAN:
You just solved all my problems

Mickeleh's Take: So, does that earn Steve a Kevin Bacon number?
