This is so weird that a country such as Finland would search "Conan O'Brien" on Google so much more than the rest of the world. I wonder why he is so popular there?

Isn't that because he looks like their president?

Edit, president, not prime minister.

And a Link.

I guess you missed the whole bit with the presidential election in Finland and Conan's visit? Basically, someone noticed that Conan looked like Finland's president so they started airing "campaign ads" for her on the show and eventually he ended up visiting Finland and meeting her.

that's what he claims, but I figure its just a joke. I can't imagine an entire nation watching his show simply because he sorta looks like their prime minister. BTW, I don't think they look alike at all.

That looks like a pair of drivers license photos if I've ever seen one.
