While critics continue to question what President Obama has done to earn a Nobel Peace Prize, Hillary Clinton's peacemaking efforts are quickly bearing fruit.

Thanks in part to the secretary of state's involvement, NBC announced Monday that "Tonight Show" host Conan O'Brien will sit down with Newark, New Jersey, Mayor Cory Booker on Friday to put an end to their weeks-long feud.

"I admire and respect Mayor Booker, and I look forward to our summit on 'The Tonight Show' this Friday," O'Brien said in a press release. "My apologies for bumping Brad Pitt, J.D. Salinger, and a reunited Led Zeppelin, we'll have them back real soon."
