Premature Exasperation? Conan Says He Won't Be Denied His Masturbating Bear
COCO IS TALKING TOUGH ABOUT HIS UPCOMING RETURN TO TV.
The late night comic ousted from The Tonight Show is making noise about taking his creative properties with him to his new gig at TBS.
Eleven months after NBC pulled the rug out from under his chair, Conan opens up shop again on the cable station on November 8.
"If there's something we did for a long time that we've established as ours, we'll figure out a way to do it," Conan reportedly tells Rolling Stone for an upcoming issue. "I won't be denied my Masturbating Bear!"
He also joked about facing off in court against NBC over his usage of his bits developed during his years on Late Night: "What I really wanna do is be sued over the bear and then appear in court with the Masturbating Bear," he said. "'Your Honor, this bear can't help himself!'"
But Conan's barks might just be a face-saving maneuver: Variety has reported that "NBC is likely not interested in creating new headlines by barring O'Brien from using those bits -- and has no use for the Masturbating Bear anymore, anyway."
