Conan's Barbs Keep Coming on Thursday (spoilers)
Conan O’Brien kept up the patter of jokes related to his late night contretemps Thursday night:

“Hi, I’m Conan O’Brien, NBC’s “Employee of the Month.’”

“There’s a rumor that NBC is so upset with me, they want to keep me off the air for three years. My response to that is, if NBC doesn’t want people to see me, just leave me on NBC.”

“Time sure does fly. Do you realize that a baby born on the day we did our first “Tonight Show” is now a slightly larger baby?”

“This is absolutely true—I received a letter from the adult film company ‘Pink Visual’ offering me a role in one of their porno movies. In the movie I’d be having sex with a beautiful woman and just as we’re about to climax I get replaced by Jay Leno.”

“No matter what happens, it’s been a real honor to sit in the same chair as Steve Allen, Jack Paar, Johnny Carson, Jay Leno, and Jay Leno.”

1. I've always been positively disposed towards Conan O'Brien
But the way he's handled this situation has made me a HUGE fan.

2. It's just amazing how No One in the entertainment industry except for Jerry Sienfeld,
Jim Norton and (maybe) Adam Corolla have had anything nice to say about Leno through all of this.

O'Brien has won a huge moral victory here, and he deserves it.
