[Audience applauding] "Ladies and gentlemen, please! You keep that up and this monologue won't start until 12:05."
"Good evening, everybody. I'm Conan O'Brien, the new host of Last Call with Carson Daly."
"This weekend, a 6.5 earthquake hit California... the earthquake was so powerful, it knocked Jay Leno's show from 10:00 to 11:35." [Then mocks Leno's voice.]
"Everybody now wants to know what my plans are... all I can say is I plan to continue putting on a great show night after night, while stealing as many office supplies as humanly possible. I'm gonna rob this place blind."
"NBC announced they plan to lose $200 million on the Winter Olympics next month. Folks, is it just me, or is that story hilarious?"
A few minutes later, O'Brien reiterated that NBC wants to push his show to 12:05 AM so that Jay Leno can occupy the 11:35 PM time slot. O'Brien then played a scrolling video of some of his future "options" before the audience, many of which included jabs at NBC and Leno.
The options included:
Star in a Lifetime original movie about a woman trapped in an abusive relationship with her network.
Move to FOX and follow their hit "24" with a new show called "24:05."
Convince NBC to let me keep this time slot if I can gain 10 pounds of chin.
Bring sanity back to NBC by hiring Gary Busey as head of programming.
Leave television altogether, and work in a classier business with better people, like hardcore porn.
