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]

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!"

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

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.
Drea8588Jan 21st 2010 6:26AM
Ewww, I would say that same thing to Leno. Now that guy has nothing left, actually he really had nothing to begin with. Conan has sooooo much more potential to make the Tonight Show amazing than Leno ever did. That guy was NEVER funny nor original. In fact, he stole all his stuff from other people and is very dead inside. Very hard person to connect to.
If you go onto the internet and see how people are rooting for, you would realize we want COCO and NONO to LENO!!!!! hahahah I rhymed!!!!

Conan's ad is actually a play on words. What he is actually saying is he is available for another late night talk show. Drapes match the carpet is how he would want the set to look. Currently homeless means he doesn't have a time slot and must meet at your place means on your T.V.. Can go for an hour, these talk shows are usually an hr. long with commercial breaks every 7 - 10 mins. Fatties welcome means couch potatoes. I hate it when the media tries to pervert everything said just for shock value.

I don't watch late night TV since Johnny is gone. They are all acting like a bunch of little girls whining about nothing. Is there a plan underway in Congress to bail out the TV broadcasting companies because of the poor ratings? I sure hope so. We would have a much better product to view if the government owned them. Our President is already on TV daily, so the transition wouldn't be that difficult. Probably create somewhere in the area of 100 million jobs, dont' you think?
drea8588Jan 21st 2010 6:29AM
Actually, they would have to bail out Leno's show since it IS the reason for the proposal of the move. Conan was just an innocent bystander. Leno's show was screwing up the rating for the news and they threatened to pull his show. So before you propose you're idea to the government, make sure you have the facts right =).
Plus, if the government owned television, is would just be alot of censored propaganda.
Mike QJan 21st 2010 5:37AM
He sucks! Does anyone actually watch him? If there weren't others for him to try and put down he would have nothing to say. Again, he sucks!

Don't speak ill of the great pastry on his head!!!!!! It was engineered by NASA and has won many awards!
Drea8588Jan 21st 2010 5:47AM
You did not just saw that!!! Conan is HILARIOUS and much more talented that other late night host ie LENO. Plenty of ppl watch him and if you have been paying attention to the news, you would know that.
DLJan 21st 2010 6:20AM
SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Funny.................
samJan 21st 2010 6:34AM
Conan is my hero. Honestly Leno blows... his giant chin is getting in the way of everything.
bobozombiJan 21st 2010 9:54AM
WHATEVER GEORGE (Last name Leno?) - Actually, it's Leno with the inflated Ego you moron. Out of ALL of the late night talk show hosts, LENO is the only one who is completely ingenuine and full of himself. The ONLY thing Leno does do well is STEAL OTHER peoples bits, and jokes. CONSISTANTLY. The funny thing about all of you Leno supporters is that most of you are nearing the end, and don't support his advertisers anyway...something NBC will soon find out when (other than the initial month of being back), he once again loses the top spot to Letterman.
