Conan O’Brien Not Afraid of NBC; Plans on Using His Established Comedy Bits and Characters for CONAN

Though the Conan O’Brien’s rough exit from NBC resulted in all the established characters and comedy bits from his tenure at the network being left behind as the network’s intellectual property, it sounds like the late night host fully intends to do exactly the opposite on Conan. The NY Post reports that an upcoming Rolling Stone interview has O’Brien confidently saying, “”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. I won’t be denied my Masturbating Bear!”

The jerk-off gesturing bear is just one of many bits that made Conan’s late night comedy great, and while NBC reserves the right to take O’Brien to court for violating their agreement, it doesn’t sound like he’s scared. In fact it sounds like he’s ready for a hilarious court battle over a bear pleasuring himself, “What I really wanna do is be sued over the bear and then appear in court with the Masturbating Bear. ‘Your Honor, this bear can’t help himself!’” I’d pay to see that case in court. We won’t have to wait too much longer to see what Conan has in store with his new late night talk show on TBS premiering on November 8th at 11/10c.
