Because it shows restricted NFL footage of the Super Bowl. I bet you it cost them a pretty penny just for Conan to SAY the words 'Super' and 'Bowl', which is copyrighted by the NFL. That's why you hear other commercials/TV shows refer to it as the "BIG GAME" or some reasonable facsimile.

That's some hilarious stuff.

But I just read a newspaper blog story that says the footage is not NFL, but USFL. It's a joke folks.

And the clip is available on Hulu.
