Newark Mayor & Conan O'Brien Slug It Out (Video)

Oct 6, 2009

New Jersey is a cesspool of debris, both human and otherwise, comic Conan O'Brien joked. The Tonight Show host specifically ripped on the city of Newark. The Mayor Cory Booker's ripping responses to the late-night comic's mockery will get him a spot on the show.

"O'Brien has invited Booker to appear on the Tonight Show and the mayor has promised to do - after O'Brien visits Newark. Drew Shane, a spokesman for the Tonight Show, declined to say whether O'Brien would do so, " reports 1010 Wins.

They have video here. The joke that got it all started?

"The Mayor of Newark, New Jersey wants to set up a citywide program to improve residents' health. The health-care program would consist of a bus ticket out of Newark." Ouch!

Conan was then banned from the Newark airport. Conan joked that the ban was no problem because he could easily get to Newark by navigating the nations sewer systems because, "Everyone knows, all sewer pipes lead to Newark." How will the spot go? It's a good move by the mayor.
