why don’t you do some real reporting and ask in-n-out or conan’s reps if there is any deal? and if they say no, why would they lie about it?

You accuse Conan of sinking to “a new low” and you attack his integrity based on … what? Oh, that’s right, a gut feeling that his repeated mentions of In-N-Out “seems to coincidental to be unplanned.”

I don’t suppose you phoned “The Tonight Show” and inquired? I don’t suppose you called In-N-Out? Nah, easier to just lob baseless accusations. (And more fun, too!)

Really, I don’t suppose you sat down and thought much at all about what you were writing. Because if you did, you’d realize that (like the above commenters said) In-N-Out is a frequent topic among transplants to L.A. — especially celebrities.

But even that is eclipsed by the fact that it would make little financial sense for a burger chain located in only a handful of Western states to advertise on a national level.

In fact, In-N-Out enjoys the kind of cult popularity and word-of-mouth buzz that negates the need for much advertising. A radio jingle here, a billboard there.

And it’s working for them. Even in this recession, when was the last time you walked into an In-N-Out and found the place dead quiet and empty?

p.s. – He also talked about In-N-Out when Brian Williams was on his show … back in February … in New York. I guess he set this whole thing up way in advance, eh?

TOMMY’S > IN-N-OUT.

Fact.

As for the notion that I’m a non-local who doesn’t personally enjoy In-N-Out (and who doesn’t live just down the street from one), my waistline wishes that were true.
