On Thursday's "Tonight Show," host Conan O'Brien offered his personal apology to Levi Johnston for "misrepresenting him in any way" in a skit the previous evening -- then, he invited William Shatner back out to recite what Conan called "verified" quotes from the father of Sarah Palin's grandson!

At the top of the show, Conan said he'd woken up to “shocking news.” “Apparently the tweets that we read were counterfeit,” he said. “They were written by a clever impostor posing as the witty Levi Johnston. And the real Levi is very angry with us now.”

He continued, “I’d like to personally apologize to Levi Johnston and his lawyer and publicist for misrepresenting him in any way.”

Then, Conan proceeded to welcome back William Shatner to recite “some real, verified quotes from Levi Johnston” as spoken-word poetry.

Earlier Thursday, "The Insider" obtained a statement from Johnston’s rep to Twitter claiming the 19-year-old was being impersonated on the social-networking site. Keep checking ETonline for more from Johnston as he prepares for his Playgirl photo shoot!
