Is Conan O'Brien's angry drunken leprechaun potato the most offensive Irish stereotype ever?

You win, Conan.

WHAT’S THE WORST Irish stereotype you can think of?

But we don’t want to see any other late-night US hosts stoop to these depths.

(Okay, maybe it would be okay coming from Fallon – but that’s it.)
