Today marks a new era for Conan O’Brien. The former host of “Late Night with Conan O’Brien” is making a bold transition away from network television. After a highly publicized split from NBC after his short-lived stint as host of “The Tonight Show,” Conan made the decision to host his new show on TBS. The publicity didn’t stop once the dust settled, and Conan has utilized a grassroots marketing effort to reach out to his loyal fans. His use of Twitter as a way to keep himself relevant has been well received and, in typical Conan fashion, utterly hilari- ous. Here are some of the highlights of Conan’s tweeting career.

“I’ve decided to follow someone at random. She likes peanut butter and gummy dinosaurs. Sarah Killen, your life is about to change.” — March 5, on following only one person out of the millions in the Twitterverse.

“Today I begin my special tour diet: waffle batter, no veggies, and massive amounts of German blood sausage.” — March 13, on his preparation for the Legally Prohibited from Being Funny on TV Tour.

“As Bieber sleeps, I grow stronger. Sleep, Bieber. Sleep.” — March 21

“I’m confused by the new census form. There’s no box for ‘Sickly White.’” — March 31

“I’m in San Jose and I’m going to visit Google. If you look up ‘Google’ on Google from Google, you see the face of God.” — May 5

“I’ve decided to start tweeting about major world events, so I just read four newspapers. Man, is it me or can Garfield be a real dick?” — May 12

“I’m in KC. I like my BBQ like I like my women, HOT. Also, rubbed with Molasses, Coffee Grounds and Cayenne.” — May 16

“Pac-Man’s 30th birthday was marred by the sudden deporta- tion of the Super Mario Bros. What were those fools doing in Arizona?” — May 22

“Our last casino show is tonight at Mohegan Sun, and I think it’s finally time to do some REAL gambling: the seafood buffet.” — June 6

“The tour is over. As I stare at the horizon, the wind ruffles my beard gently.” — June 16

“Larry King’s retiring after hosting ‘Larry King Live’ for 25 years. Personally, I think hosting anything longer than 7 months is overkill.” — June 30

“Congrats to my staff on 4 Emmy nominations. This bodes well for the future of The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien.” — July 8

“Jersey Shore has added a new woman to the cast for their next season. No word yet on whether or not she likes to party.” — August 8

“The FDA egg recall has hit a total of 380 million eggs. I can’t wait til they find the tired, evil hen that did this.” — August 19

NFL Lions call on Suh for extra point

Associated Press DETROIT — At first it seemed like a fun novelty — 307-pound Ndamukong Suh lining up to kick an extra point for Detroit as the home crowd shouted his name. Then Suh's kick hit the right upright. The Lions could have used that point later in the game. Suh's miss came in the third quarter Sunday, moments after kicker Jason Hanson was injured. Detroit lost 23-20 in overtime to New York after the Jets tied the game on a last- second field goal. "There's no question that Ndamukong is our backup field goal kicker," Lions coach Jim Schwartz said. "He's done it in practice. We have a lot of con- fidence that he could kick it. It put him in a difficult situation because he went out without any warmups. ... Probably should have called a timeout, given him time to get ready." Suh, a rookie defensive line- man, grew up playing soccer. His kick had plenty of strength but wasn't quite straight enough, leaving the Lions ahead 13-10. Hanson hurt his right knee when New York's Trevor Pryce stumbled into him on a short field goal attempt. The Jets were penalized on the play, giving Detroit a new set of downs, and the Lions scored on a 1-yard run by Matthew Stafford. Hanson was playing his 295th game with Detroit, one fewer than the record Bruce Matthews set with the Tennessee Titans franchise for games played with one team. Hanson returned in the fourth quarter to kick an extra point, but punter Nick Harris handled kickoffs for the Lions in his place. page 12 The Observer N SPORTS Monday, November 8, 2010 NBA NFL Heat still making Raiders move to 5-4 with OT win
