No Leno-like statement from Conan O'Brien, who instead seems to stuck to a standard monologue.

Well, if your definition of "standard" includes lots of NBC bashing. Which these days, it does.

Tonight's jokes from Coco:

Hi, I’m Conan O’Brien and I need all of you to write me a letter of recommendation.

A lot of papers are reporting that I am now legally prohibited from saying anything negative about NBC. So good night ladies and gentlemen, it's been a great show.

No, this is true—it’s been widely reported that I can’t say anything negative about the network. Luckily, they’re not saying I can’t sing anything negative about the network.

NBC has a new slogan and the slogan is “More colorful.” They may be telling the truth because they are about to get rid of the whitest guy on television.

Of course, this has been a stunning couple of days for me. It’s a bit hard to accept that soon I won’t have a show, but Snooki and The Situation will.

Last night at the Golden Globes Julia Roberts said that NBC was in the toilet. NBC was upset and toilets were furious.
