Wednesday Conan Monologue Focuses On Pop Stars
Conan O’Brien took shots at Jacko, Britney, and Madonna during his monologue on Wednesday. For Jackson, Conan joked, “According to The New York Post, every now and then — apparently this is true — Michael Jackson puts on a disguise and goes door to door as a Jehovah’s Witness. That’s true. Yeah, and apparently he puts on a disguise ’cause more people would rather let Jehovah’s Witnesses in their home than Michael Jackson.”
As for Britney, Conan said, “This is interesting. A radio station in Chicago has decided to change their photo contest from ‘Boobies Like Britney’ to ‘Bodies Like Britney.’ They changed it. True story. Yeah, apparently, when the contest was ‘Boobies Like Britney,’ people were sending in their plastic recycling.”
As for Madonna, Conan added, “I gotta mention this last thing… very exciting celebrity news. A new biography of Madonna came out this week. I know you’re all gonna buy it. And apparently, the biography lists all the men she slept with. Yeah. Yeah, apparently, the book is called The Manhattan Telephone Directory.”
Leno Slams Jackson’s Skin & Madonna’s 1st
November 8, 2001 – Jay Leno joked during his monologue Wednesday, “Hey, what’s the story with Michael Jackson? Joey, hand me that. Did you get TV Guide this week? You see this? Look at this picture. What color is he now? He’s not black. He’s, like, the color of a raw hot dog now. What is that?”
As for Madonna, Leno cracked, “Two new biographies about Madonna hit the bookstores today. That’s when you know you slept with a lot of people, when you need two books. That’s a lot, that’s a lot. They had a big thing in People magazine about it last week. Madonna says — or the book says Madonna lost her virginity to a U.P.S. Driver. Talk about ‘Wham, bam, sign here, ma’am.'”
Michael Hates ‘Wacko Jacko’ Moniker
November 8, 2001 – WENN reports Michael Jackson sounded off on people that call him “Wacko Jacko” saying, “That’s not nice. They do that because they’re jealous. I haven’t done anything. I go to hospitals and orphanages. And we take huge bags of toys. I spend thousands of dollars. What’s wacko about that? The press is just completely jealous. And it’s just one of those things that I have to deal with.”
