Conan O'Brien, Newark mayor schedule 'Tonight Show' summit
NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — Goodbye YouTube, hello "Tonight Show."
Newark Mayor Cory Booker, who has garnered national attention for his passionate defense of the crime-plagued New Jersey city, is taking his act to airwaves.
"Tonight Show" host Conan O'Brien, who has been engaged in a playful feud with Booker since Sept. 23, has scheduled Booker to appear Friday on the NBC show.
The exchange began when O'Brien poked fun at Booker's new health care plan for gritty Newark — long an icon for urban decay — saying it consisted of a bus ticket out of town.
Booker fought back with a humorous response on the YouTube video Web site in which he "banned" the 46-year-old redhead from Newark Liberty Airport.
