Jon Stewart administered a New York City citizenship test to former Manhattanite Conan OBrien when the two crossed paths on Tuesdays night Conan, which featured OBriens late-night show returning to the Big Apple.
By the way, you dont leave your citizenship of New York when you leave it, Stewart told the now-Los Angeles resident OBrien. You are always, and will always be, a citizen of New York. That being said, you dont know shit about this place, and you never did.
After asking OBrien mundane questions like how many boroughs are in New York and the population of Manhattan, Stewarts quiz starts to become more open to interpretation, like when he asks, What NYC institution holds representatives of more than 193 nations? (The F Train, OBrien answers) and Where in New York City is the ball dropped every year (Citi Field, the host responds, a dig at Stewarts beloved Mets).
Stewart then recruits OBriens sidekick Andy Richter to ask, Name the very famous New York resident who won the 2016 presidential election? Hillary Clinton, OBrien answered.
After registering a perfect score, Stewart reconfirmed OBriens New York expertise and then plugged his upcoming HBO special Night of Too Many Stars, an all-star event that raises money for services and programs for people with autism and their families. The special airs November 18th.
