Case Closed: Booker Cashes in on O'Brien
Newark Mayor Cory Booker closed the books on his feud with the Tonight Show's Conan O'Brien last Friday. You can watch the segment and read about O'Brien's donation to a Newark nonprofit as a symbol of lasting peace between the two figures. It was fun while it lasted.

City of Newark vs. Conan
Well, this Friday we'll get resolution to the on-going feud between The Tonight Show's Conan O'Brien and Newark (NJ) mayor Cory Booker. You may recall Booker invoked "the brotherhood" of the sister cities network (so to speak) when O'Brien banned Booker from the Burbank airport and Booker retaliated by banning him from the Newark airport, New Jersey, and ultimately, all of Newark's sister cities.
Mayor Booker appears this Friday on The Tonight Show, so tune-in to NBC for the resolution of this diplomatic crisis.

Sec. Sec. Clinton to Conan & Cory: Give Diplomacy a Chance
Our chief diplomat, Sec. Hillary Clinton, chimed in this evening on the The Tonight Show's Conan O'Brien/Cory Booker feud. It may not be the Dayton Peace Accords, but it feels like the end is near. Brokered peace is possible. Extend that olive branch, Conan.

Conan O'Brien - You've Got Trouble!
NBC's Tonight Show host Conan O'Brien is known for taking on 'important issues' over his career, but he may have stepped a bit too far this time. Conan has been taking on the city of Newark, NJ and Newark Mayor Cory Booker has a few things to say about that and he's invoked the sister cities network. Enjoy...

Conan, you've got some problems now. You think New Jersey mayors roll together? You wanna be banned from 2,000 sister cities around the globe? Watch yourself.
