Extreme Couch Surfing: Want to Spend 4 Days Living In Conan O'Brien's Burbank Studio?
Team Coco strikes again! Need a place to crash early October? If you don't mind being filmed and featured on the Conan show, you might want to arrange to shack up for a few days at the Burbank soundstage that's home to O'Brien's TBS show, which is now being "rented" by Airbnb.
Here's the full text of the add, including the hilarious wrong-word use that implies celebs have taken a nibble of the couch, rather than merely sat on it:
