* His really-a-[[Short Film]]-at-20-minutes ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DXvAaNcXNzI&ob=av3e Jazzin' for Blue Jean]'' may not be as famous as [[Michael Jackson]]'s much-ballyhooed longer clips, but it sure is funnier. Bowie plays two roles -- one is [[Adorkable]], one is sheer [[Adam Westing]]. Highlights include: |

** Vic deciding not to wear a "Frankie Says Relax" T-shirt because "I'm not advertising Frankie until they tell us [[I Am Not Shazam|who he is]]." |

* His ''Late Night with [[Conan O'Brien]]'' appearances, mostly scrubbed from online availability, were always fun-filled. 2002 included a Bowie-style rendition of "Hickory Dickory Dock"; 2003 had him pressured into singing a pro-Conan song ("There are many talk show hosts/But he is clearly better than most") that "thankfully" ended when the G-string on Conan's guitar broke. He also revealed several "Celebrity Secrets": he lied when he said "It's great to be in Cincinnati!" at one concert, and lives in denial that, before all his reinventions, he was an overweight Korean woman.
