Conan tweets


Conan O'Brien is experiencing talk-show withdrawal pangs.

He tweeted Wednesday that he interviewed a squirrel in his backyard, then tried to go to a commercial.

In the bio section of the account that's verified by Twitter as accurate, O'Brien wrote: ``I had a show. Then I had a different show. Now I have a Twitter account.''

His January exit deal with NBC bars him from interviews or TV appearances for several months, so tweeting is another way O'Brien can communicate with fans.

He left ``Tonight'' after NBC tried to bump him to a midnight slot to move Jay Leno back to late-night. Leno will reclaim ``Tonight'' on Monday.

Under his NBC agreement, O'Brien can start another show in September. Fox has expressed interest in the comedian.

NBC is owned by General Electric Co.; Fox is a unit of News Corp.
