Top Ten | Couples that should get back together

 This week it was announced that Andy Richter, Conan O'Brien's former sidekick, will be joining Conan again after a nine-year hiatus. When O'Brien takes over "The Tonight Show" from Jay Leno later this year, Richter will act as the show's announcer. We couldn't be more excited. This addition to O'Brien's show is off the scale, the Richter scale, if you will, and in light of this announcement, we at the Daily Arts Department present the top ten couples that should reunite.

10. Romeo and Juliet: These crazy kids would be together if they weren't so darn emo. Too bad getting back together is complicated by the whole "suicide" thing. Juliet may have taught the "torches to burn bright," but she and her love were not the brightest torches in the mausoleum.

9. Simon and Garfunkel: Yes, we know that technically you did reunite and give a performance a few years ago, but that isn't what we're talking about here. Everyone knows that you still hate each other's guts, and we want the old Paul and Art back. It's not too late to build a bridge over the troubled water of your animosity.

8. Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart: On election night, we got a little taste of the comedic genius when these two powers combined. Bottom line: Stewart comes off as a little too preachy without Colbert, and Colbert comes off as a little too pompous without Stewart. C'mon guys, put your polar-opposite political views aside and reunite.

7. Will and Grace: Sure, they could never get married, but theirs was a relationship for the ages. Will and Grace's hilarious interactions and priceless musings over their mutual inability to maintain a long-term relationship were the stuff of legend. And, lest we forget, without Will and Grace, there's no Karen and Jack.

6. Harry and Cho: Dating your best friend's little sister is a little weird, Harry, not to mention the Weasleys are like your second family. We liked you much better when you were nervously kissing Cho rather than passionately making out with that red-headed strumpet.

5. Ben Affleck and J Lo: Okay, this is kind of a joke since Bennifer #2 is far superior to this one, but these two were the precursor to the "Brangelina" craze sweeping the nation. Besides, if they got back together they could spend ridiculous amounts of money on matching Bentleys and humongous pink diamond engagement rings, as well as make ridiculously awful movies like "Gigli" (2003).

4. Crockett and Tubbs: We may be a little young to remember these Dapper Dans from ‘80s hit show "Miami Vice," but we miss them nonetheless. From their drug busting adventures to the snazzy, white-linen suits, pastel t-shirts and sockless shoe-wearing ways, Crockett and Tubbs were meant for posterity, not for syndication.

3. Paris Hilton and Anonym-ity: Ms. Hilton, let's stop to reflect here for just a second: How are you famous, again? The fact that we all know about your visit to the slammer, your search for a new best friend and your favorite pet is really quite sad. The world would probably be a better place if you checked in for an extended stay at one of your family's hotels.

2. MTV and music: With shows like "A Double Shot at Love," "Engaged and Underage" and "Sex ... with Mom and Dad," one has to wonder what ever happened to the "M" in MTV. We're kinda sick of idiotic reality stars and incestuous sexual undertones. Can you get back to playing music? Or do we have to switch over to, gulp, VH1?

1. Daisy and Gatsby: Okay, so "The Great Gatsby" probably would have lost its emotional punch if the titular millionaire and his beloved got back together, but wouldn't it have been nice? Also much less of a mess for the pool cleaner...
