Turner Broadcasting System

12-Jun-12 – (Above) A 17-foot Conan O’Brien bobblehead is delivered to a cheering crowd at Monday’s taping of Conan at the Chicago Theater. (Click on image to view larger version.)

“As a thank you to the city I had a sculpture made that reflects Chicago’s size, power, and beauty,” mused O’Brien. “It is my gift to you.”

Buildings near Wacker Drive, including Marina City, are depicted in the backdrop.

O’Brien told the crowd he is taking suggestions about where the “Chicago Conan Bobblehead” should be located. “And there this statue will stand until the police make us take it down.”

Suggestions may be made by leaving a comment at teamcoco.com/cocobobble or by tweeting @teamcoco with hashtag #COCOBOBBLE. Shows will be taped at the Chicago Theater through Thursday.
