I remember the HornyManatee.com thing :)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Late_Night_with_Conan_O...

"Conan, in an ad-libbed statement, mentioned that the character appeared on the, at the time fictitious, web site "HornyManatee.com". The next night, Conan told viewers that if he mentions a web site which doesn't exist the NBC corporate policy is to buy the ___domain name lest someone else use it and potentially make NBC liable for the site's content. Conan said Late Night decided to use the ___domain name to create an actual web site, giving it the appearance of a fake porn site. "
