Brett Favre and Conan O'Brien

Looking for some humor to take the edge off the nightmare of losing Brett Favre to the New York Jets?

Favre's move to the Jets was fodder for Conan O'Brien on Thursday's show.

O'BRIEN: Big, big sports news... Earlier today, legendary Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre agreed to sign with the New York Jets. Coming to the Jets, yeah.

Yeah, Favre said, "I really just wanted to see what this whole losing thing was about."

O'Brien returned to the Favre story during his "In the Year 2000" segment. He started the bit prior to the turn of the century, giving predictions about what would happen in the future, in the year 2000.

This one was the Seth Rogen edition. Guest Seth Rogen and O'Brien took turns looking to the future.

O'Brien was up first with this prediction:

O'BRIEN: Brett Favre will take his new team, the New York Jets, to the Super Bowl. The team will sit in section 165, Row B.

Funny? You decide.
