As Conan O'Brien tapes his final episode of The Tonight Show on Friday, and some predict an official announcement on Wednesday regarding his future, the embattled late-night host is biding his time with jokes and jabs at NBC.
Look back on another late-night comic's controversy
"Hi, I'm Conan O'Brien, and I'm just three days away from the biggest drinking binge in history," he said during Tuesday's monologue. "I spent the afternoon at Universal Studios' amusement park, enjoying their brand-new ride, the 'Tunnel of Litigation.'"
Noting reports that he is legally prohibited from bad-mouthing the network behind the mess (Jay Leno is taking over O'Brien's time slot after his prime time show was axed), O'Brien joked in his monologue Tuesday "Nobody said anything about speaking in Spanish."
He then rails off an insult in Spanish which translates to: "NBC is run by brainless sons of goats who eat money and crap trouble."
The redheaded comic then shares what he'll do with his free time — and his plans include a Jersey Shore cast member! "Introduce myself to my children…Finally make good on my plan to backpack through India with 'The Situation.'…Make a big move to Fox. Megan Fox."
