Conan O'Brien Is a LinkedIn Top Influencer and Huge Troll

Conan O'Brien's plan to take over LinkedIn is going just as he planned. (Insert evil laugh here.)

In September, the comedian realized that one only puzzle piece missing from his social media empire was the networking platform LinkedIn. He set about rectifying that issue by creating a troll-tastic profile -- complete with job descriptions as a "lighting designer" at Applebees and listing "Oscar for Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role" under his honors and awards.

The profile amassed more than 70,000 followers, and O'Brien is now a listed as a "LinkedIn Top Influencer."

But that's not good enough for O'Brien. He wants more -- more followers, that is. He'll stop at nothing to get it, including upping the ante on his profile picture.

The late night host wants you to connect with him. Go do it now, because, let's be honest, this will be the only LinkedIn connection you make that will ever matter in the long-run.

Also, check out 20 years worth of Conan bloopers. Spoiler: It's so funny, it hurts.
