As of this afternoon, the top vote-getter in Time magazine's online Time 100 Poll was Conan O'Brien with more than 50,000 votes, almost 16,000 ahead of runner-up Yu-Na Kim, the 19-year-old figure skater whose 2010 Olympic gold medal was South Korea's first ever in that competition.
According to the poll blurb, Time says people are voting for "the leaders, artists, innovators and icons who [they] think merit spots on this year's list of the 100 most influential people in the world."
It looks like there's 50,000 or so people who didn't read that real closely. Because while Conan is funny and maybe a swell guy to boot, he didn't have enough influence to keep himself from getting bumped out of his time slot and eventually out of a job.
