U.S. talk show titan Conan O'Brien got more than he bargained for during a stunt on the "The Tonight Show", after he was left injured and needing medical attention.
He is expected to be back on the job Monday.
NBC said in a statement released on Saturday that O’Brien was resting comfortably at home.
The network says the accident Friday halted the production of "Tonight". The network did not say what the stunt entailed.
O’Brien was examined at a hospital and then he was released.
The star seems to be lighthearted about the whole affair, saying in a statement, "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".
A "Tonight" rerun with guest Jeremy Piven aired Friday. According to NBC’s Web site, the scheduled show was supposed to include Teri Hatcher and Seth McFarlane.
The 46-year-old comedian took over the "Tonight" host’s job from Jay Leno in June.
