Conan O'Brien has issued an official apology for a recent Sarah Palin spoof that reportedly bore resemblance to a Jimmy Kimmel sketch.
In a video statement posed on his official website on Thursday, the comedian apologised for a comedy skit that showed Sarah Palin hunting Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer. It was since discovered that Jimmy Kimmel Live aired a similar skit earlier this month.
"We weren't aware," he said. "This is not the first time this kind of thing has happened."
O'Brien went on to joke that one of his show's comic characters wasn't originally conceived by his writing staff either.
He jested: "It turns out that the Robo Rabbi that's been featured on our show the last couple days was once on Jack Paar. I think it was 1962."
Conan airs weeknights on TBS.
