Conan O'Brien for Sale on Craigslist's 'Casual Encounters'
After unsuccessfully trying to sell 'The Tonight Show' via a Craigslist ad, O'Brien has kicked things up a notch (as he is wont to do), posting a personal ad to the site's legally nebulous 'Casual Encounters' section. Under a post titled "Tall, Slender Redhead Available for Nighttime Recreation," Conan masterfully combines double entendres (e.g., "Not afraid to take two people at once, and then a musical guest") with decidedly more intimate information (e.g., "Drapes match the carpet" ewww) -- all in an attempt to sell his "completely ripped, VERY Caucasian" body to one lucky fan.
On his show, Conan said that the ad is totally real, and that he received thousands of responses to his previous ad on Craigslist, a platform he seems to enjoy -- perhaps, a bit too much. O'Brien later took time in the show to thank his tirelessly supportive fans, many of whom attended Facebook-organized rallies in New York, Chicago, L.A. and Seattle, and showed video of the huge turnout (juxtaposed against a hilarious clip of what Conan called a pro-NBC rally).
We're certainly not the first people to say this, but ever since this whole NBC debacle first unraveled, both Leno and Conan have sharpened their tongues, ramped up their monologues, and, as a result, have produced the kind of acerbically funny material that was missing from both shows ever since last fall's programming shakeup. Conan, in particular, has been on the receiving end of huge amounts of viewer support, roused primarily through online social networking. Who knows how much longer we'll have Conan, but we'll definitely be enjoying his farewell tour -- all the way down to the last drop of comic genius. [From: Mashable]

He could just spam himself out on here like everybody else does.

I don't go on Craig's List so wouldn't know but I did see on Ebay a "Conan O'Brien" travel bag and get this it's at $999,999.00!! I'm not sure if he's the actual seller but it appears he very well could be! Check it out! It's got 2 day left-curious if it'll hit the million $ mark!

No thanks I like class

Conan is too good for you
GeorgeJan 20th 2010 9:13PM
Maybe Conan let his inflated ego get in his way when he thought he could bring NBC down on their knees. He needed to stop and think about his 200 staff members that will be out of a job - many uprooting themselves from New York to follow him out here. He should have thought about his low rating numbers before he threw down the gauntlet. NBC is a group of morons but all Conan had to do was let Leno have that 1/2 hour show and soon it would be canceled like his 10 PM show is going to be - and Conan would be back at his 11:35 PM time slot. And if that didn't happen - fine - go with it and be happy that you are one of a rare few that will ever sit at that Tonight Show Desk. Take your $30 million Conan and now what are you going to do - as you have really tarnished your image. Dumb move on your part - and good luck to you.

AH SHADDUP. DONT YOU READ OR WATCH THE NEWS ?
Drea8588Jan 21st 2010 5:55AM
Did you read his statement? Because if you did, you would KNOW why Conan refused the offer. Conan grew up watching the Tonight Show and has obviously always wanted it and respected the franchise. Conan said no because he believed that it would ruin the franchise and it would! The Tonight Show has been at that same time for 60 YEARS!!!! If he pushed it back half an hour, it wouldn't be the Tonight Show, but the really early show. Personally, I think Carson would be proud that Conan stood up for what he believed in against a network.
Do you really think Conan wanted his staff to lost their job? NO! And it's evident that he cares about them because the reason why the deal took so long to sign was that he was negotiating a payout for his staff. And he is also going to give them some money of his own.
And for what NBC is putting Conan through, with his career and not letting him work til Sept and that his contract has 3 1/2 more years, then I do agree with him that he should get paid out. Conan has worked for that network for 17 YEARS and this is how they treat him. If you are okay with how NBC treats their employees, then I wouldn't expect you to understand humanity.
Candace GoodmanJan 20th 2010 9:25PM
My comment had nothing to do with class-I've never even seen his show! I was just amazed to see something on Ebay going for that kind of $ that's all-didn't mean to offend anyone:(
King DavidJan 20th 2010 9:42PM
HERE IS THE WAY IT WILL BE, and remember where you heard it FIRST!!! EVERYTHING WILL STAY THE SAME. THIS IS JUST A "PUNK'D" SCENERIO!!! Both will have achieved the ratings and recognition that NBC has been seeking; both will go back to the "friends" basis that they have been showing; and Leno will get to snub his nose at Letterman, complete with a "gotcha". REMEMBER WHERE YOU HEARD IT FIRST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a wank. What is up with that fru-fru hair?
EarlJan 22nd 2010 9:13AM
O'Brien just doesn't get it does he. None of them are funny....especially him!
Drea8588Jan 21st 2010 5:58AM
Correction: Leno, the man who steals EVERYTHING and has no conscience or sense of self, is the least funny talkshow hosts. The only thing Leno had was jaywalking and after first 500 times of seeing it, it got REALLY old. Plus he jacked it from Steve Allen.
jeffjensenJan 20th 2010 11:12PM
I think Conan Bid on it but I didn't look at the auction. Just messing around as he is doing on Craigs list.

Jay Leno did Doritos commercials.

Conan O'Brien, is very very lucky, making this kind of money, his writers deserve the money, not him. Without his great writers, he qualifies to clean toilets....
LindsayJan 21st 2010 5:31AM
umm good one? Since Conan is a multiple emmy winning writer for his own work on the simpsons and SNL and for outstanding late night host. You are definitely a Leno fan...the idiots love him I hear.
Drea8588Jan 21st 2010 6:15AM
Alright, you have not watch his show have you? Yes, Conan has writers, but the jokes wouldn't work without him, so I would say he more than just lucky. And not only that, Conan doesn't have writers when he is interviewing people, which are some of his greatest moments. In addition, if you saw Conan's episodes during the writer's stirke of 07, you would have seen his greatest stuff WITHOUT writers
alschrodJan 21st 2010 12:27AM
Sing the old Durante fade-out song, Conan: "We've had a few laughs, and now it's time to go---" You were the weakest of all five late-nighters, and although the show had good moments and you're a decent guy, the numbers don't lie, so it's --"adios, auf weidersein and inka-dinka doo!"
Drea8588Jan 21st 2010 6:16AM
WTF, the worst of all 5 guys?!?!? Have you looked at the numbers? Did you forget about Carson, Kimmel or Craig?
Plus, Conan has the highest rating for younger viewers which make him more valuable than Leno's near death and Palin fanatic viewers
Cathy BennethJan 21st 2010 1:03AM
Conan, PLEASE just go away. You need to take your ball and go home. The other kids are sick of you. You need to find new playmates now. The game is over and you lost. Be a big boy and just go away. PLEASE. I'm beggin' ya. Just go the hell away.
