 In the fall of 2009 , Tonight Show host Conan O 'Brien engaged in a satirical on @-@ air and YouTube feud with Booker , with O 'Brien jokingly insulting the City of Newark and Booker responding that he would ban O 'Brien from the Newark airport . Then @-@ Secretary of State Hillary Clinton called for the feud to end during a prepared comedy bit , telling Booker to chalk it up to a head injury suffered by O 'Brien less than two weeks earlier . Booker then appeared on O 'Brien 's show and assured viewers that the feud was over and that he was actually a big fan of O 'Brien , who agreed that every time he made a joke about Newark , he would donate $ 500 to the City of Newark , and also made a $ 50 @,@ 000 donation to the Newark Now charity , which was matched by NBC Universal .
