"I am just going to
spill my guts here for a second. Ladies and gentlemen, last night on my show,
you know, I came out, jumped around like a chimp like I normally do, and then I
said something on my show regarding the presidential campaign of Mike Huckabee
[on screen: past clip of O'Brien explaining that because he made Chuck Norris
popular again, Mike Huckabee became popular]. It's just simple, simple logic.
Now
I've made this claim for the last several weeks, and it's been overwhelmingly
accepted by the media and by political pundits across the country. 'Conan Made
Huckabee' is now even a popular bumper sticker outselling 'No Fat Chicks' by 3
to 1. So, you know, I've been in a good mood lately. I'm a kingmaker. I'm
changing the course of history. This morning, I come to work, my entire staff
is buzzing about some comments made by Stephen Colbert. Now, I've always heard
very nice things about his show and about him. I've never had a chance to check
the show out myself. Because frankly, I don't own a radio. But the word on the
street is that he's a very good man.
Okay? So imagine my shock and surprise
when Colbert spoke directly to me on his show last night and said the following
[on screen: Colbert saying, 'Let's make this straight, Conan O'Brien. I made
Mike Huckabee. I made him in my own image and surely as I fashioned him from
dust and breathed life into his nostrils']. What the hell is he talking about?
He made Huckabee? Who does this guy think he is? Now, I don't want to get into
the gutter here, but my good name has been besmirched and I need to to unsmirch
it." --Conan O'Brien
