Ever since Coco announced his new show on TBS, fans have been wondering which characters he’ll be able to bring over from the glory days on ‘Late Night.’ Both Conan and NBC are claiming intellectual property rights over the beloved sketches, but in a recent Rolling Stone interview Conan said that he wasn’t going to let NBC get in the way of using his old characters, proclaiming, “I won’t be denied my Masturbating Bear!” Sure enough, the Masturbating Bear made an appearance on the Conan premiere, and so far NBC hasn’t sued.
Take a look at some of the other characters caught up in this intellectual property battle. Remember Fun Hole Guy?
