Deon Cole's "Conan" Commercial
Conan O'Brien has returned to television and is back among the so-called "late night wars" with his new show, "Conan," that premiered on TBS on November 8. For the most part, he is pretty much the same (although seemingly a bit more relaxed); however, so far, according to some reviewers, the show in general is lukewarm, but is on a slow boil to being "hot."
According to comedian and "Conan" staff writer Deon Cole, one surefire way to get hot is to reach out to a more culturally diverse audience with a commercial about the show, targeted to at least one demographic--see Cole's "commercial" here:

I love this. Deon has obviously paid attention to (and is therefore mocking) all the political ads/commercials that pander to the black community, right here in his hometown. This is what this reminded me of as soon as I watched the clip.
