MOLLY SHANNON: `NEVER MENTION STUDENT LOANS ON TV'

NEW YORK (Wireless Flash) -- Former "Saturday Night Live" cast member Molly Shannon has some advice for anyone with outstanding student loans: Don't mention it on national TV. Shannon confesses to "Self" magazine that when she was in college, her Dad told her not to worry about racking up massive student loans because the system was so disorganized, no one would ever know if she ever paid her bills. As a result, Shannon threw away the bills and thought nothing about it until she mentioned her outstanding debts on "The Conan O'Brian Show." The very next day, Shannon got a call from a financial officer at her former university who had been watching the show and demanded she pay up.
