Conan O'Brien's Best NBC Jokes

I’m glad that 90 percent of my Twitter and Facebook friends have announced that they’re on “Team Conan,” but I don’t really think there’s a Team NBC outside of the NBC headquarters. Am I right? Team NBC, are you out there? No? Good.

Anyway, from the moment he announced that he wouldn’t go along with NBC’s dumb plan to bump The Tonight Show’s time slot for Jay Leno, Conan has handled the situation with resolve, grace and a whole lot of humor. Here are eight awesome jokes he’s made since the big announcement.

8. He told his fans, “My name is Conan O’Brien, and I may soon be available for children’s parties.”

6. He listed his other options. One of our favorites: “Star in a Lifetime movie about a woman trapped in an abusive relationship with her network.”

5. And another: “Televise my own colonoscopy on the Bravo channel on a show called Project Funway.”

4. One more: “Leave television altogether, and work in a classier business with better people, like hard core porn.” Okay, just watch the whole thing:

3. "When I was a little boy, I remember watching The Tonight Show With Johnny Carson and thinking, ‘Someday, I’m going to host that show for seven months,’” he said, highlighting the fact that NBC didn’t even give him time to establish himself as the show’s host.

2. He featured a Deal Or No Deal bit, in which he won tickets to see Jay Leno’s standup at the Luxor in Vegas.

1. He brought out one of his staff writers, Deon Cole, for a bit about how NBC is a pimp and the network’s late-night hosts are its hos. “Do you work at night?” Cole asked Conan. “Is your job making people happy before they go to sleep?…Has Charlie Sheen ever been on your couch?” Check it out:

Conan, we salute you.
