Conan himself has made a few cracks about the move, most of which have involved not-so-humorous barbs at NBC. But so far there hasn’t been much to come out of the Conan camp officially.
Well, that’s changed now! Conan issued a long statement this afternoon that addresses all aspects of the NBC Late Night shake-up, including the possibility of moving to another network. Read the entire statement.
