Conan O'Brien Will Fight for His 'Masturbating Bear'

By PopEater Staff Posted Oct 27th 2010 11:21AM

Conan O'Brien is going to run his TBS show 'Conan' the way he wants to, and if that includes a masturbating bear, he will get his masturbating bear. In an interview with Rolling Stone, O'Brien drew a line in the sand, daring NBC to try and sue him for using old 'Tonight Show' and 'Late Night' gags on his new show.

"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," O'Brien says in RS's Nov. 11 issue. "I won't be denied my Masturbating Bear!"

If Conan wants to use some of the old gags from his days at 'The Tonight Show,' then he may face serious legal issues from NBC, but he's not going to back down.

"What I really wanna do is be sued over the bear and then appear in court with the Masturbating Bear," O'Brien says. "Your honor, this bear can't help himself!"

Now that the dust has settled from the controversial spat between Conan, Leno and NBC, the new TBS late night honcho isn't as bitter as he was before.

"Knowing what I know, I'm quite confident that what really happened really didn't have much at all to do with what I was doing," O'Brien says.

Knowing that the stakes of starting fresh at TBS are high, O'Brien knows he needs to go all out.

"I feel like, 'OK, I'm going to go for broke,' I have nothing to lose," O'Brien says. "Let's face it: I'm not going to do another television show after this one."

This is the EXACT reason I NEVER watched Conan. He thinks the bear is funny. THAT'S why HE'S not funny, and he never was. He's just vulgar for no reason. Plus, the insult dog? Also NOT funny. Dave's funny. Leno can sometimes be funny. Jimmy Kimmel? VERY funny. Craig Ferguson? Hilarious!!!! But....Conan? NO. And when "Coco" bombs on TBS, he won't be able to blame it on Leno OR NBC. He will have to accept HE'S NOT FUNNY.

Somehow I got onto this story and site and you're right about this guy Conan, but seriously you might want to turn off the tv and start reading or go out and do something constructive. Watching any of these dudes is an absolute waste of your life and time. Pete Reeves Altoona, PA PS I haven't watched Letterman since the 90's. Never watched Leno (lousy interviewer,) Kimmel bimmmel, who cares. Sick of watching people live off of disrespecting others. There's way more to life and adding to it than tearing anybody and everything down. Oh yeah, that other dude from the Drew Carey Show, Fergurson, - when he, a foreigner was constantly belittling OUR President and anyone who supported him, I knew he was a Grandstander. Another yuck tearing down norms and society.
Get outside!

What a loser! Most disturbing is the vast number of people that obiviously feel O'Brien is worth spending time on.

By Richard Ott

Maybe, Conan won't do another TV show after this one,
but as for David Letterman, I hear NBC is hiring again
after 18 years, and they'd like him to be a judge on
America's Got Talent. Just kidding.

And now we can see just one of the reasons Jay Leno took his spot on NBC. What a douche-bag! That wasn't funny in the least...

By maxbygu

I wouldn't watch Conan if he were the only thing on TV. I would rather read a book that I have already read 5 times rather than watch him!

Oh they RULE FOOL another WAVO!

By Nikki

I always enjoyed Conan when I have seen him, but this bear thing is really tasteless. I can't believe anyone finds that funny. On some levels, it is a bit disturbing.

By JJ

"that bear just masturbated away my kids christmas" LOL What are you trolls like 80 years old?? how is that not funny?

By Not Impressed

And after being fired from this show, he will still be wondering why and crying about it! What an absolute useless piece of crap.

By Jessica

WOW...would you please STOP whining about this already Conan!!! There are plenty of folk out here dealing with some real serious issues: unemployment, no health care--you have another show, NBC paid you millions and you're still bitc*ing and moaning over this!!??

By David Patterson

Conan wasn't funny on NBC...there's no way he's going to be funny on TBS!

By garyward

If I had things my way Conan would have to give back 99% of the money he made all these years because he is not funny at all.well maybe his looks. I could not believe that anyone would replace Leno with Conan,what a mistake that was.I believe he is is a strange person,with a sick humor. I will never waste my time watching him.I was sick of his invisible puppet strings, his running in place and nudity skits. I would not want to see him in the raw.Anyone paying him is throwing away money.
