TBS: Conan and NBC deserve Emmy Award
TBS wants Conan O'Brien to win an Emmy for his work on NBC's Tonight Show. Of course, this isn't as magnanimous as it appears, since O'Brien (a two-time Emmy winner already) is moving to TBS. The ads (see full images after the jump) are delivered in O'Brien's self-deprecating style, commenting on his burgeoning Twitter addiction ("Give this man one more thing to tweet about") and complexion ("Outstanding achievement in the use of SPF150"). Clever, but there's a snag. Considering how annoying his fans were when NBC dumped him, and seeing as how the Emmys aren't until August, it's going to be a long summer.
