We did cover a part of this story two days ago: Someone Wants To Pay A Million Dollars For Conan O’Brien’s Suitcase? However, if you missed that, here is a quick summary of what’s going on: Since late night talk shows thrive on jokes, this has been fodder for all of the late night talk shows. Serioulsy, just run a Google search. However, what’s been hilarious to me are the ads that Conan and The Tonight Show have put on Craig’s List. Last week they put The Tonight Show on sale:
