NBC Picks Up Two Conan O’Brien Pilots

Less than a week after Conan O’Brien was dropped as host of The Tonight Show, NBC has shockingly purchased two pilots from Conan O’Brien’s production company, Conaco!

The first pilot, roughly titled Justice, will “follow a Supreme Court justice who quits to start his own legal practice.”

The second is a multicamera comedy called The Pink House.

According to reports, the purchases had no part in O’Brien’s $45 million exit strategy, and Conan & co. were shocked to hear the offers!

As are we!

Footage of Conan O’Brien’s Head Injury Hits the Web

Footage of Conan O’Brien‘s head injury during a skit on The Tonight Show last week has hit the web. And it’s pretty difficult to watch!

The funnyman returned to TV Monday night after being in the hospital, and joked that, “I hit my head so hard that for five seconds, I understood the plot of Lost.”

Ha!

Brutal!

Elevating with Jack White

“I’ve never taken a picture in an elevator,” says Jack White, when I run into him at the Gramercy Park Hotel Monday night.

But the White Stripes/Raconteurs/Dead Weather singer is game!

White doesn’t reveal much about his upcoming documentary (The White Stripes: Under Great White Northern Lights) in our chance encounter, or how he and Dead Weather frontlady Alison Mossheart are about to make their TV debut on Conan O’Brien‘s Tonight Show that same Thursday. He just hangs at Rose Bar early on in the night and lets one of his biggest fans ramble about her blog.

Thanks for being u, JW!
