Ed Koch also voluntarily allowed Conan O'Brien to punch him in the chest during Conan's attempt to get into the Guinness Book of World Records for "Most Mayors Punched In The Chest In One Day". Also punched in the chest were New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani and McDonaldland's Mayor McCheese (who later suffered a comical gang-style beating from some stagehands). Andy Richter suggested that they attend some sort of mayoral convention to secure the record, Conan replied something to the effect of, "This show doesn't have the money for that! We spent half of this year's budget just to get Mayor McCheese!"
