09.29.09 CONAN USES HIS HEAD INJURY FOR LAUGHS

After suffering a concussion Friday, Conan O’Brien took a couple minutes of “The Tonight Show” last night to discuss how his head injury occurred and what happened in the aftermath (see video below; pictured above: him slipping and hitting the back of his head on the floor at the end of a triathlon he staged with Teri Hatcher). It’s the usual Conan: self-deprecating and endearing, but there’s definitely also an off-putting element here, as the subject is someone’s head trauma and consequent hospitalization.

Anyway, no jokes from me, just a big ol’ emoticon heart <3 for Conan. Glad you’re okay, ya big weirdo. Although if this improves ratings in any way, keep up with the weird injuries. Next week on “The Tonight Show”: Conan recounts his harrowing account of waking up in a bath tub full of ice with phone and a note that says, “If you want to live call 911.” Ratings GOLD!

I’m just happy that Andy allowed the paramedics to take all those pictures of Coco’s penis.

Is it just me (on a new MacBook Pro), or does NBC’s video player never work? It just spins and spins. I always have to go to their site to watch the clip. YouTube and Hulu work fine. Just curious.

That old ass bitch still has a nice pair of gams on her.

Sadly there are no triathlons that keep your face looking young.

It’s not just you, NBC.com’s video player is fucking terrible. I don’t know why they even HAVE one; Hulu exists, and works exceedingly well.

Dan: Couldn’t agree more. Andy belongs on the couch. I feel like I’m waiting for his commencement speech every time they pan to him at that podium.
