Conan O’ Brien Gets in Twitter War With Madeleine Albright
Late night talk show host and actor Conan O' Brien recently entered a playful Twitter war with politician and diplomat Madeleine Albright, People reports.
The funny Twitter dispute first started following a tweet O'Brien posted about dressing up as a "slutty Madeleine Albright" for Halloween.
Albright, 77 who describes herself on Twitter as a "grateful American, Czech immigrant, mother & grandmother, fmr SecState, passionate democrat, author, prof, bizwoman, pin collector, & occasional drummer" responded to O' Brien's tweet with a playful jab aimed at the actor's attractiveness and appeal.
The dueling pair quickly ended their playful feud with O'Brien tweeting out that Albright had won the Twitter war.
Check out the duo's hilarious Twitter exchange below.
I picked out my Halloween costume. I’m going as “Slutty Madeleine Albright.”

.@ConanOBrien I'm considering going as hunky Conan O'Brien - but that might be too far fetched. — Madeleine Albright (@madeleine) October 23, 2014
.@Madeleine YES - My first twitter war with a former Secretary of State! You're next, George P. Shultz!

.@ConanOBrien Never get into a word war with a diplomat. We talk even more than comedians. — Madeleine Albright (@madeleine) October 23, 2014

.@ConanOBrien Ha, you're certainly not the first to make that mistake... But all in good fun! #TeamCoco — Madeleine Albright (@madeleine) October 24, 2014
In addition to being an "occasional drummer" as mentioned in her Twitter bio, Albright also served as a former U.S. secretary of state.
Us Weekly reports that Albright's political career inspired the plot line for CBS' new show "Madam Secretary," starring Tea Leoni.
During a past interview with Parade Magazine, Leoni revealed that she met with Albright to prepare for her role on the show.
"I had a great breakfast with Madeleine Albright," she said. "Facing sexism as the first woman in that job, she told me things I'll take to the grave. She did say that although there was a concern about sending a woman to negotiate in areas where women are not revered or educated, 'All the trouble I had was here, never over there.'"
