Twitter co-founder Biz Stone made an appearance on Conan the other night, in honor of his company's 5th birthday. The occasion gave Stone a chance to take a brief look back on the early days of Twitter when, as O'Brien duly pointed out, many people thought the microblogging platform served no real purpose. "Everybody said 'Twitter's useless,'" Stone recalled. "To which my co-founder Evan ...

O'Brien shakes his head at the memory. "Aaron's saying, 'You're up to 250,000' or something, and I would say, 'I don't know what that means.' " It meant that O'Brien was setting the single-day record for gathering followers on Twitter. Just as quickly, O'Brien's team began to hear that NBC was far from happy. "The network isn't crazy about you tweeting. They're not sure that's cool," O'Brien ...

Conan may have lost 'The Tonight Show,' but that's fine with us. His NBC superiors probably wouldn't have green-lit the host's new Christmas set, which features Godzilla holding a candy cane, a robo-rabbi and Mr. and Mrs. SanMagnatron Claus, all of which come courtesy of microwave artist Kenny Irwin. (Yes, that's a thing.) Check out the set in action and Conan's interview with the creator after ...

If there's one person capable of upstaging the Dalai Lama's arrival on Twitter, it might just be Conan O'Brien. We may not be seeing him on TV anytime soon, but now that the former 'Tonight Show' host has officially taken the plunge, we can at least get a glimpse of what goes on in his carrot-topped funhouse of a dome. Last evening, an account under the name @ConanOBrien suddenly popped up on ...

So it's come to this. After all the melodrama, all the rumors, all the flaring tempers, the NBC late night soap opera has not only apparently sent Conan O'Brien packing, but also forced him into a life of online "prostitution." 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 ...

For a recent episode of 'The Tonight Show,' hilarious troublemaker Conan O'Brien sat down with Intel's Ajay Bhatt, the co-inventor of the USB port (video after the break). As befits the man who indirectly brought us data-storing neckties and heated mousepads, the ensuing interview was -- in a word -- ridiculous. Watch as O'Brien asks Bhatt the tough questions. Does he hate the inventor of ...

Let's face it. No one has time to sift through the endless barrage of celebrity tweets. However, luckily for those celebrity-obsessed tweeters who are constantly distracted by things like family, work, and friends, Conan O'Brien has stepped in to help. On Tuesday's episode of 'The Tonight Show,' host O'Brien introduced the 'Twitter Tracker,' which aims to pluck only the best celebrity tweets for ...

If you've spent any time at all with 'Grand Theft Auto IV' since its release last week, you know that it's not exactly a kind and cuddly game. Conan O'Brien noted the same thing and in response has envisioned what a PG-rated version of the game might look like. See for yourself in the video above. Whether you love or hate the game, you have to agree that this, um, friendlier version isn't ...
