Los Angeles, Sep 29 (THAINDIAN NEWS) Conan O’Brien, who was injured in a stunt, in the last week, today released the video of that mighty fall down the stairs and turned the joke onto himself.
“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.’”
In that episode, O’Brien and his guest Teri Hatcher were in a footrace when he slipped while trying to slide past the finish line. He suffered a mild concussion and was admitted to the hospital also for recovery.
After the incident, Brien picked himself up and looked completely lost. He couldn’t make sense of his cue cards. It was like a menu for an Egyptian restaurant,” O’Brien said.
His producer called him off the stage. O’Brien kept saying that he wanted to do the show, while his staff and a nurse quizzed him about what year it was, Richter said.
Richter accompanied him to the hospital, where doctors did a neurological evaluation.
“I really start to come back and I feel much better. And then one of the neurological questions was how many nickels in $1.35?” O’Brien said. “I’ve never known that!”
The noted host Conan O’Brien has also written Andy Richter Controls the Universe, a comedy series that ran for two seasons.
