Conan O Brien Injured Video

LOS ANGELES (AP) – Conan O’Brien has turned his “Tonight Show” stunt injury into comedy, showing footage of it as a “cautionary tale” for kids.

“As many of you may know, on this past Friday’s show I was doing a stunt and I hit my head and suffered a slight concussion. And I promise, if you’re a good audience, I’ll do it again tonight,” O’Brien said during Monday’s taping.

In a transcript released by NBC, he joked that he struck his head so hard “that for five seconds I actually understood the plot of ‘Lost.’”

O’Brien and guest Teri Hatcher were in a footrace when he tumbled, forcing Friday’s show to be halted. He was taken to a hospital for examination, and a “Tonight” rerun aired instead of the planned episode.

In his monologue Monday, O’Brien joked that he got so much media attention from the accident that he’s planning a sequel with one of Hatcher’s “Desperate Housewives” co-stars.

“So tune in tomorrow when Eva Longoria pushes me down an elevator shaft,” O’Brien quipped.

Before showing clips from Friday, O’Brien suggested parents “wake up your children because this is a cautionary tale.”
