Last Friday, Conan O’Brien was on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and he told a long story about a how David Letterman gave him a horse as a thank you gift a few years ago. Then on Tuesday, David Letterman was on Jimmy Kimmel Live and the first Late Night host told him that he gave the horse to the second Late Night host as a gag and was expecting him to return it to sender. Something Conan did not know until that interview.
Therefore, now after 3 and a half years, he is finally returning the horse to its rightful owner. No word how much it cost to ship the gift that keeps on giving across the country, but probably almost as much as the gorgeous animal is worth. Which is sad because Letterman is taping his Netflix show in Los Angeles and Conan could have saved a pretty penny and gave Dave Dave the Horse here.
I am sure this will not be the last time we hear about Dave the Horse and I cannot wait to see it all unfold in a late night battle. This is Letterman and Conan’s second late night war, they each had one before and it was against another horse or at least Jay Leno kind of looks like one…
