Conan Takes Another Swipe At NBC

And we're loving every minute of it!
After noting that he had been forbidden from badmouthing NBC, Conan O'Brien joked last night on The Tonight Show, "Nobody said anything about speaking in Spanish. NBC esta manejado por hijos de cabras imbeciles que comen dinero y evacuan problemas." This means, "NBC is run by brainless sons of goats who eat money and crap trouble." Of course, the jilted late night lost also added, "Hi, I'm Conan O'Brien, and I'm just three days away from the biggest drinking binge in history."
So what other jabs did Conan take at the network? Since NBC is claiming the rights to Triumph the Insult Comic Dog and various other bits, Conan quipped, "Isn't it great to live in a country where a cigar-smoking dog puppet and a bear that masturbates are considered 'intellectual property?'"
However, a less than pleased NBC rep released the following statement today:
- "It was Conan's decision to leave NBC that resulted in nearly 200 of his staffers being out of work. We have already agreed to pay millions of dollars to compensate every one of them. This latest posturing is nothing more than a PR ploy."
