Conan O'brien Apologizes To Levi Johnston

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 07:20:25

theinsider.com - On Thursday's "Tonight Show," host Conan O'Brien offered his personal apology to Levi Johnston for "misrepresenting him in any way" in a skit the previous evening -- then, he invited William Shatner back out to recite what Conan called "verified" quotes from the father of Sarah Palin's grandson! At the top of the show, Conan said he'd woken up to “shocking news.” “Apparently the tweets that we read were counterfeit,” he said. “They were written by a clever impostor posing as the witty Levi Johnston. And the real Levi is very angry with us now.” He continued, “I’d like to personally apologize to Levi Johnston and his lawyer and publicist for misrepresenting him in any way.” Then, Conan proceeded to welcome back William Shatner to recite “some real, verified quotes from Levi Johnston” as spoken-word poetry. Earlier Thursday, "The Insider" obtained a statement from Johnston’s rep to Twitter claiming the 19-year-old was being impersonated on the social-networking site. Keep checking ETonline for more from Johnston as he prepares for his Playgirl photo shoot!

theinsider.com - Actress Teri Hatcher, who was a guest on Friday's canceled episode of the "Tonight Show," speaks out in exclusive interview with "The Insider"'s Lara Spencer about the stunt-gone-wrong that injured Conan O'Brien. Teri tells Lara she recently finished a triathalon, so she and Conan were taping a bit based on that for "The Tonight Show." "We did this bit and at the very end, when we ran in to cross the finish line, he slipped as he was crossing the finish line and hit his head," Teri says. "And the thing was, I was in front of him so I didn't see it initially. "He didn't get off floor right a way, but then he [seemed] like he recovered and [pulled] it together, and they did an instant replay, and you could really see his head hit the floor." She continues, "He did go to hospital and he does have a concussion." Teri adds that she hears Conan is fine and just needs to rest. "I was just a wreck," she says, contuining, "we had a great day and it couldn't have been better -- and then that was the ending to it, and it was awful; you don't want to see anyone get hurt."
