My favorite burn Conan burn was by Natalie Portman. Conan spent the first half of the interview mocking Star Wars geeks (to Natalie's visible annoyance), then eventually moved on to talk about Cold Mountain. Conan: "You may not know this but I'm a huge civil war enthusiast--" Portman: "Oh yeah, that's way cooler than being a Star Wars fan."

It's one of those moments that could have been scripted, but it certainly felt like it was spontaneous. Conan getting burned by a pretty girl over something he was sincerely enthusiastic about was just classic.
