Mayor bans Conan O’Brien from Newark airport

Conan O’Brien may think twice before insulting Newark, NJ again.

Last week on “The Tonight Show,” O’Brien took a jab at the city, saying: “The Mayor of Newark, New Jersey wants to set up a citywide program to improve residents’ health. The health-care program would consist of a bus ticket out of Newark.”

Now, Newark Mayor Cory Booker has taken to YouTube to personally deliver his reaction to O’Brien: placing the funnyman on the Newark airport no-fly list.

In the video, a fired-up Booker defends his city, saying that Newark is “one of the fastest growing cities in the Northeast” and airs footage of Newark residents responding to O’Brien’s joke with shock and anger.

“Try JFK, buddy,” says Booker, after he “officially” puts O’Brien on the no-fly list at the tail-end of the minute-long YouTube address.
