Cory Booker on the Tonight Show

by: Jason Springer

Sat Oct 17, 2009 at 03:05:05 PM EDT



The long awaited showdown between Mayor Booker and Conan O'Brien on the Tonight Show took place last evening.  As he walked on stage, the Mayor checked to make sure the seat wasn't rigged, but Conan said they didn't have the money for that, before they began:
"Many jokes are made about Newark by comedians," O'Brien said on Friday's show. "You honed in on me like a cruise missile. Why me, Mayor Booker?"

"When there's a herd going after you, you have to sort of look at the weakest gazelle," Booker joked

Here was the segment, which starts at 19 minutes of the show:

Don't miss the Newark Joke Jar either. The two played off each other very well for an entertaining 15 minutes split in 2 segments. I thought the Mayor did really well.  He took the opportunity to talk about some of the accomplishments Newark has made before a national audience. He even collected a $100,000 contribution from Conan, his wife and NBC to help the Mayor's Newark Now non-proft charity. Conan closed by saying that it was one joke and man was it expensive.
