Newark Mayor Fires Back At Conan O'Brien

NEWARK, N.J. (CBS) ― New Jersey's largest city is rolling up the red carpet and red caps for Conan O'Brien.

The "Tonight Show" host poked fun last week at a new health care program in Newark, saying it consisted of a bus ticket out of the city.

Newark Mayor Cory Booker fired back with a humorous response on YouTube.

Booker announced the creation of a no-fly zone for O'Brien at Newark Liberty International Airport.

He invited the comedian to use New York City's John F. Kennedy International Airport, which is notoriously congested.

Booker deadpans: "Try JFK, buddy."

Booker was elected mayor on May 9, 2006.
