Conan O’Brien hit his head while taping Friday's episode of the "Tonight Show" and was taken to the hospital. Production was stopped, and a repeat was aired. O'Brien and NBC issued a statement in which the host joked he remembered "enjoying the play with Mrs. Lincoln." Bostonist hopes Conan is okay. [EOnline.com, Boston Herald]

Displaying little loyalty toward Brookline-born Conan O'Brien (as opposed to New York–born Jay Leno), Globe commenters wish failure on O'Brien as he prepares to take over The Tonight Show from Leno tomorrow evening. Comments quickly escalate from assigning O'Brien "little talent" to awarding him "no talent" to calling him a "total tiurnoff [sic]" and predicting "conan will tank." Some even accuse NBC of promoting an Obama agenda through O'Brien's assignment (which was made long before the election, right down to the date of the transition).
