A clip:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Sensing a loss of momentum, Mr. O&#8217;Brien quickly launched into a &#8216;Top Ten&#8217; list, something he&#8217;d repeatedly told the press he would never do.

O&#8217;Brien burst into laughter at this distasteful comment. &#8216;Now we&#8217;re cooking with gas,&#8217; said the cocky new voice of &#8216;Late Night.&#8217;\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Lots of fun at the link above, for those who refuse to be serious.
