Conan O’Brien’s bid to be the next Oprah
Conan O’Brien has made a bid to be the next Oprah Winfrey – by getting a Tom Cruise waxwork to jump up and down on his sofa.
The US chatshow host had his audience in stitches as he unveiled the latest trick up his sleeve.
“I’ve decided to offer my services as America’s new Oprah,” he said. “Of course, it’s a big deal. Votes have been counted.”
He added: “Another thing Oprah is famous for is the time Tom Cruise got really weird on her show, jumping around and pumping his fists and saying ‘Wooo’.”
“As your new Oprah, I now present our very own wax Tom Cruise, jumping around just like the real one. You’re welcome, America.”
Last week, Winfrey announced that she would be quitting her long-running talk show in 2011, after 25 years on daytime TV.
