Late Show UK

Conan O’Brien returned to host The Tonight Show last night following the cancellation of last Friday’s episode because of his accident whilst filming the show. Conan got a concussion during Friday’s taping when Teri Hatcher was racing him in a triathlon for a segment to go out that evening. Friday’s new show never aired and NBC broadcast a rerun episode instead.

Conan said he wanted to carry on with Friday’s taping after the accident but soon became clear something was wrong when he couldn’t speak properly and the cue cards he was looking at were “like a menu for an Egyptian restaurant”. He said “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”.

Madonna will be on the Late Show With David Letterman on Wednesday night. It will be Madonna’s eighth appearance on the show. The last time she appeared on the Late Show was back in 2005 when her and Dave rode horses on Broadway. Her infamous 1994 interview was the most memorable with her outbursts of swearing and being downright rude to Dave.

Conan O’Brien hit his head during a stunt on The Tonight Show on Friday, forcing NBC to air a rerun as the episode wasn’t completed before the mishap happened.

Craig Ferguson was a guest on the Late Show With David Letterman last night. The host of the Late Late Show visited Dave to discuss his talk show (which follows directly after the Late Show on CBS) and tells us about his encounter with Rolling Stones legend Mick Jagger (including a very good impersonation of him as a “sexy dinosaur”).
