Conan to Levi: Sorry We Shat on You

Levi Johnston threatened to sue, Conan O'Brien listened -- and last night he apologized for using an "imposter's" Twitter account to make fun of Sarah Palin's daughter's baby daddy.



William Shatner was back again to do a reading from the "real" Levi ... and this time, the Taco Bell inspired quotes are totally authentic.

Levi's Rep to Conan: Take It Back or We Sue

Levi Johnston's manager has launched an ultimatum to Conan O'Brien's show over last night's William Shatner sketch: "If they don't retract, we'll sue."



NBC had no official comment, but an insider at "The Tonight Show" tells us they'll be addressing the issue on the air tonight -- and Shatner twittered he will be back for another appearance. Coincidence? We think not.

Yesterday, Shatner read what was represented as posts from Levi's Twitter account, making him look like a racially insensitive pothead -- but as we first reported, Levi's reps say the famous Palin-impaler doesn't even have a Twitter account ... or a Facebook, or a Myspace.

Levi's attorney tells us he's already dealing with Twitter over the fake account.

Conan O'Brien: Click to watch
Last night -- his first night back since Friday's accident -- Conan played a clip from the taping -- which shows him eating it during a triathlon skit with the Desperate Housewife ... an idea he said was all hers.

In another clip, right after the fall, Conan is dazed, and slurring his words.

Conan O'Brien Injured During Taping of Show

Conan O'Brien was injured while filming a skit for his show this afternoon and was unable to continue taping, this according to a rep from NBC.

Here's the statement from NBC, which includes a quote from Conan:

"Tonight, NBC will broadcast a repeat of 'The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien.' Conan hit his head doing a stunt and the show was not finished.

Conan O'Brien added, "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.

Conan to UCLA -- I Can't Replace Everybody!

After James Franco bailed on being UCLA's commencement speaker, the graduating class thought they found a back-up -- but the guy they picked is just a lil' too busy these days.

Almost 2,000 students signed up for a Facebook group dedicated to securing L.A.'s newest famous resident Conan O'Brien to replace Franco. But in an extremely polite statement to the students, Conan says he won't be able to fill Franco's shoes -- because he's too busy filling Leno's:

"I am honored to be asked but I am so busy launching "The Tonight Show" there just is not enough time to give this speech the preparation it deserves. I wish everyone in the class of 2009 the best and I am honored that they thought of me."

Maybe Jimmy Fallon's available?

Conan O'Brien Gets the Big O

Conan O'Brien finally started his "Tonight Show" run last night -- and we're guessing Will Ferrell's interview had to be cut a bit short, because the standing ovation Conan received when he first walked out lasted for...ev...er.

That being said, dude did a great job.

Jay Leno -- Tonight and Good Luck

Jay Leno bid his adieu to the "Tonight Show" last night, but he had trouble speaking over the applause.

Jay gave Conan O'Brien a boost that Jay never never had when he started -- the stage on the predecessor's last show.

Jay's best joke -- when he started 17 years ago, his hair was black and the President was white.

Conan O'Brien Trains Harder Than You

Conan O'Brien blended in with the rest of the tourists on a miniature train ride at Griffith Park in Los Angeles yesterday.

Well, as much as any pale-as-a-ghost, 6'4", redheaded late night talk show host can blend in.

LiLo -- Is Dina a Mommie Dearest?

Dina Lohan made a joke of moms everywhere by being honored for being a good parent -- so we wanted to know how her twice jailed, 3x rehab graduate felt about the award.

Also in L.A.: Nicole and Joel spent a night out without the baby, Drew Carey's interview was hijacked by a fame-seeking passerby, Bobby Brown stuffed his belly and a flux capacitor-equipped DeLorean made it's way back from the future.

In NY: Eva Mendes corrected TMZ for pronouncing her name wrong, Sarah Larson wouldn't spill what she got George Clooney for his b-day, Conan O'Brien went walking with his adorable kids and Christian Siriano went "hot tranny mess" hunting at the Wavery Inn.

Barbarian Trump to Conan: You Lied to Me!

No one is safe from the wrath of Trump. Not even Conan O'Brien.

The Donald was once again on the attack, accusing the the late night host and his staff of lying to him about what topics would be discussed on the show last night. Trump claimed that Conan had promised to steer clear of Rosie questions.

"I'm not doing my job if I don't ask you, quickly at the top, about this whole Rosie situation," said Conan. Trump quickly swiped back, "Even though we agreed not to discuss?"

Panicked, Conan declared that he "never agreed" to those terms and then asked his staff to back him up. The move only seemed to get The Donald even more fired up.

Someone isn't telling the truth.
