Conan O'Brien has been in the middle of a small feud with Newark, N.J. mayor Cory Booker (left) ever since O'Brien started making the beleaguered city of Newark the regular butt of his jokes (O'Brien told his "Tonight Show" audience that Booker's health care plan for residents of Newark consisted of "a bus ticket out of Newark").
The two men have been having a bit of fun trading jabs from opposite coasts and banning each other from airports and their respective states. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton even stepped in last week to broker a truce.
On Friday night, Booker is finally coming face-to-face with O'Brien on "The Tonight Show" to defend his city's honor.
UPDATE! Booker is discussing the O'Brien appearance in a live chat today at 5pm ET on Ashton Kutcher's Ustream channel and on Facebook. You can view a preview on Booker's YouTube channel.
Booker and the city of Newark are also the subjects of the Sundance Channel's acclaimed documentary series, "Brick City." "Brick City" is currently available On Demand, but will also be shown in a day-long marathon on Sundance this Saturday from 11:30am to 4:30pm.
"The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien" featuring Booker will air Friday at 11:35pm on NBC.
