It may be long (nearly 50 minutes), but Conan’s recent appearance at Google was full of insight, hilarity, and general Conan-ness.
At one point (around 23:30) he leaves the stage to let an audience member touch his hair. This is shortly after his "impression of rapper Ludacris" after being asked about Jay Leno.
The program was hosted by Vic Gundotra, VP of Engineering, who allowed Conan to poke fun at him, Google, and anything else.

Apple Daily in Hong Kong produced a Sims-style video to explain the Jay Leno/Conan O’Brien situation to Chinese television viewers. Portraying them as comic book heroes is sheer genius! You don’t have to understand the language to follow along. -via Cynical-C
Strange de Jim has been archiving zingers delivered by late night TV show hosts for a decade. It’s probably the most complete archive of such one-liners – from 1999 through this past Friday.
Here’s an example from this past week:
The Daily Show titled the Rod Blagojevich story “Scumdog Million-Hairs,” and a White House story “Big ‘Bama’s House.”
Dave Letterman: “This woman had eight babies. Of course, now she’s moving to a much bigger shoe.” “Benjamin Button starts out old and ends up as a baby who’s adopted by Angelina Jolie.”
Jay Leno: “It’s Chinese New Year. Their resolution is to get the lead out.”
Jimmy Kimmel: “It’s Oprah’s birthday, and I feel sorry for Steadman. What do you give a woman who has her own President? You can’t just give her a mix tape.”
Conan O’Brien: “Viagra profits are down 90%. The president of the company said, ‘Honest, this has never happened before.
