FILE - In this April 13, 2008 file photo, Conan O'Brien appears on stage at Comedy Central's 'Night of Too Many Stars' special in New York. In early March 2010, Sarah Killen had three Twitter followers. A week later, she has 20,000 — as well as a new iMac computer and offers to help pay for a dress and drinks for her wedding. The unsuspecting rural Michigan woman has one out-of-work late-night talk show host to thank for her newfound online popularity — Conan O'Brien. O'Brien decided last week to pick Killen as the only person he would follow on Twitter, turning the 19-year-old's life upside down. (AP Photo/Peter Kramer)AP - Without a TV show to do every night, Conan O'Brien is taking his act on the road.
