This is from someone who tried everything: hypnosis, aversion therapy, nicotine replacement therapy, visualization, gum. Then he discovered the trick...

3. But can Kristen Bell rock the mouth organ?
My favorite reaction to the awkward pause or mouth organ bit was Lisa Kudrow:
Cued up: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=826uiz7vwv4#t=11m48s

Craig: Alright, awkward pause or uh, mouth organ?
Lisa: Or WHAT?!
Lisa: Is it a Scottish thing?
Craig: If you're lucky, it is!


Billy Connolly winning the Golden Mouth Organ back in December:

Oddly, it took the Conan fiasco for me to discover Craig. When Conan moved to 11:35, I started watching Craig if I was up that late. Then I started religiously recording.

8. Yeah the Billy Connolly one was excellent
Kristen Bell.. mouth organ.. i'm sure there's a joke in there somewhere. heheh. and SAME HERE - it took the whole Conan mess to clue me into Craig too. Although to be fair it was really his Doctor Who stuff that first got me watching. :)

7. Congratulations!
it's the hardest thing I've ever done, but not as hard as I thought it would be. You're right, It does get easier, but boy are there some triggers that are difficult to overcome. You've really hit the stride in the critical 3 month hurtle. Congratulations again.
