Parts of Speech with Jay Leno and Conan O'Brien

Here is a cartoon from the January 25th issue of Newsweek that provides a perfect example of how a word can be used as a different part of speech to a comedic effect.



Jay's back - Jay is back. (back is an adverb)
Conan's back - Conan's (possesive) back. (back as a noun)
