Conan's monologue - 4/1/14

Fact-checking Conan: In his monologue, Coco claims that Dallas is the largest city in the US that is not near a large body of water. Needless to say, that isn't even close to being accurate. That actually describes Phoenix. Dallas is not even the largest city in TEXAS that is not next to a large body of water (San Antonio is larger).

HOWEVER, the Dallas/Fort Worth/Mid-Cities statistical area is the largest metropolitan area that is not next to a large body of water. That's kinda meaningless because that defined area includes 12 large counties, stretches all the way to the Oklahoma border, and comprises 9,000 square miles of area (larger than the state of Connecticut), but it's still technically true.
