Hey, Conan, The Mayor of Newark Wants Some Free Publicity
In the monologue for the September 23 episode of The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien, Conan made a crack about Newark, New Jersey, and now Newark Mayor Cory Booker has placed Conan on the Newark Liberty International Airport no-fly list. Other people placed in the no-fly list for making fun of Newark, New Jersey? Everyone who has ever lived ever.
Mayor Booker should place that angry Newark resident in the Newark Regional Theater no-act list.
Yesterday I made fun of Michigan. Today, in solidarity with Conan O'Brien, I am going to attempt some Newark jokes.
- In 1996, TIME Magazine called Newark the most dangerous city in the nation. While most citizens at the time were upset by the ranking, it was nothing compared to the ranking given to them a few years later by SMELL Magazine.
- After banning Conan from Newark International Airport, Mayor Cory Booker considered banning Conan from Newark's biggest landmark as well but decided it was unnecessary upon realizing the biggest landmark was actually just Newark International Airport.
- Newark is famous for its industry. In fact, most residents of the Tri-State area are very familiar with its two biggest exports: pollution and assholes.
After the jump, video of the actual joke in question.
For some reason, no news source I could find actually stated on which date the episode aired, so I had to dig through Conan's monologues to find the joke. It took me awhile, but I found it! Everything I do, I do it for you.
