Conan O'Brien has been hospitalised for concussion after filming for his chatshow.
The host was filming a sketch with Desperate Housewives star Teri Hatcher when he slipped and hit his head.
Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, Hatcher said: "We did this bit and at the very end, when we ran in to cross the finish line, he slipped as he was crossing the finish line and hit his head.
"He didn't get off the floor right away, but then he [seemed] like he recovered and [pulled] it together, and they did an instant replay, and you could really see his head hit the floor.
"He did go to hospital and he does have a concussion."
NBC confirmed that O'Brien had been taken to hospital but did not comment on his current condition, Us Weekly reports.
In a statement, he joked: "Last thing I remember I was enjoying the play with Mrs Lincoln, and the next thing I knew I was in bed being served cookies and juice."
