Conan Freaks Out At The "New York Times" (VIDEO)

Last week, a reporter at the "New York Times" wrote about a new type of Boron crystal and innocently, yet incorrectly, said that the element can take on three different forms. Apparently, Boron (being a master of disguise) can actually appear in FOUR different forms.


When the "Times" issued its correction, O'Brien freaked out on Late Night saying:

"What the hell, 'New York Times'? Three phases of Boron? What Kind of half-assed paper you running over there?"

Leno WON'T be missed because

1) Conan is EFFING HILARIOUS!!!!

2) Uhhh..Duh....Leno is getting his own 10pm Show!!!

3) Conan is Effing Hilarious!!

[readmewell22]

He's too over the top.
He's way too strange.
We never laugh.
Leno's spot will be missed!

[thaggas]

Hell no. Once Leno is gone, I'll start watching late night again. Conan is hilarious. Although, I've been watching Craig more and more. That man is a genius.

[Hayduke1969]

Seriously? This clip didn't make you laugh? This is comedy gold, my friend.

Leno couldn't make jokes about the phases of boron because he's not just not that funny. He needs really good material to work with and lacks the depth or versatility to pull off a skit like this. Conan can do this. Furgeson could do this. But not Leno.

Leno won't be missed.

Oh, Conan

Very Steve Martin-like.

[GoodwithWood]

Stop it dammit. I Have a broken rib.

[slaxx]

better than leno.

[realitycheck7]

of course

by far

you see leno is missing an important quality for a comedian to have, humor

I like his motorcycle and car collection though

[Big0725]

A tree is funnier than Leno.

[valkyrie607]

That was hiiilarious! LOL--literally. Oooh! New internet acronym: LLOL for "literally laugh out loud" as opposed to LOL for "laugh out loud (inside my head)."

[realitycheck7]

I used to think lol meant "laugh on line"

[fcsakes]

Oh my GAWD - I based all of last weeks scientific formulae for repainting earth on the original hypothesis!

[jozinha]

Boron morons! Priceless.

[kennydarter]

everyone should have that much hate.

Pretty funny! Great clip!

That's what happens when a paper becomes a propaganda tool for ghost writers from pseudo-intellectual think tanks.

[walk0nwalls]

Really?

[NKR]

Um...let me just make sure I understand the statement you just made...

"That's what happens when a paper becomes a propaganda tool for ghost writers from pseudo-intellectual think tanks...they make inconsequential mistakes regarding the polymorphic forms of the chemical element Boron. How dare they intentionally leave out the orthorhombic symmetry lattice y-B28 form and only make note of the rhombohedral and tetragonal boronic forms! ITS ALL PART OF THEIR DAMNED LIBERAL CONSPIRACY TO PROMOTE ATHEISM AND GLOBAL WARMING! AAAAH!

Riiiiiight.

[quixoto]

I'm pretty sure he meant that comment facetiously.

I mean, I hope at least.

[edgemo]

That was awesome! Now do Carson!

[whiteboyblues]

Not a paper, the whole damn news media is a propaganda tool.

[Merckx]

That's what happens when a Fox News becomes a propaganda tool for ghost writers from pseudo-intellectual think tanks.
