LOS ANGELES, Sept. 27 (UPI) -- "Tonight Show" host Conan O'Brien is out of the hospital after hitting his head while taping a stunt for the program, NBC officials said.

The network said Saturday that O'Brien was released from the unnamed hospital after being examined, KTLA-TV, Los Angeles, reported.

NBC said O'Brien was injured Friday while running down a flight of stairs as part of a skit for the "Tonight Show."

"Conan is resting comfortably at home. He is expected to return to work on Monday," the network's statement said.

O'Brien released his own lighthearted statement as well, telling fans, "Last thing I remember I was enjoying the play with Mrs. Lincoln, and the next thing I was aware of was being served cookies and juice."

A repeat episode of the "Tonight Show" was aired Friday night after O'Brien's mishap.
