When all of the “I’m With Coco” hullabaloo kicked up in January (of which I’m a firm supporter!) I found myself wondering, does Conan O’Brien have a Twitter account? I was surprised that he hadn’t yet hopped on the social networking bandwagon, but now that the ruckus has softened to a simmer and he’s a settled into his unintended sabbatical, Conan has finally acquiesced to his legions of fans and opened up a Twitter! The world, as we know it, will never be the same.
That screenshot was taken just moments ago, and with only one tweet to Conan O’Brien’s Twitter account, he’s already scored more than 250,000 followers. The best part? This absolutely slaughters Jay Leno’s (relatively) paltry 30,000-some tweeps, and his account has been open since April 2009. Take that, Leno! You may have once been “the king of late night”, but when it comes to crowning future Twitter royalty? All hail The Coco One!
