Conan O'Brien Injures Giant Head; Tonight Show Delayed
Such is the price of comedy: Conan O'Brien hit his head while shooting a stunt for The Tonight Show yesterday. While he appears to be OK, whatever he did was severe enough that production on the show was halted. NBC wouldn't comment on whether or not he was hospitalized for it, but an anonymous source told the LA Times that he was indeed.
O'Brien then released this statement via NBC:
"Last thing I remember, I was enjoying the play with Mrs. Lincoln, and the next thing I knew I was in bed being served cookies and juice."
There's echoes here of his imposed lead-in Jay Leno's mysterious hospitalization -- the first sick day in his 17 years on the air -- back in April, when he still hosted the then top-rated show from behind the comfort and safety of his beloved desk. Could something nefarious be afoot here? Let the conspiracy theories commence! (Oh -- and get that noggin fixed soon, Conan. We love you.)

Oh, Coney Coney Cone Cone. This is the wrong summer for casual Celebrity head injuries. Get well, then wrap yourself in bubble wrap until this deadly season is over.
Did someone say "Conspiracy Theory" involving Late Night talk show hosts hitting their head?

Maybe this will be like "Freaky Friday" and Conan will now think he is Fallon and Vice Versa. (Judge Reinhold)
PS> Get Well, Conan!
Wow. So world changing. Who cares!
