Conan O'Brien was taken to a local hospital for observation after the accident

Conan O'Brien is nursing a sore head after falling over while filming his TV show on Friday.

The Tonight Show host, 46, took a tumble as he recorded a sketch with Desperate Housewives actress Teri Hatcher.

The chat show host was poking fun at her recent triathlon.

‘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,' she tells Entertainment Tonight.

‘He didn't get off floor right a way, 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.'

Conan is already joking about the accident.

‘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,' reads a statement to Us Weekly.

The episode did not air on TV; a rerun was broadcast by the NBC network instead.
