"The Insider" was with Levi Johnston Thursday night as he watched "The Tonight Show" and heard host Conan O'Brien's personal apology for "misrepresenting him in any way" during a skit the night before. Read on for more...

 

Levi exclusively tells "The Insider": "I'm glad I gave him something to talk about on his show. Obviously it's good that I'm on there."

On Thursday's "Tonight Show," Conan said he'd woken up to "shocking news." "Apparently the tweets that we read were counterfeit," Conan said referring to the skit he did that used quotes from a Levi impersonator. "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 back here for more from Johnston as he prepares for his Playgirl photo shoot!

  • Your show downplays the fact that Levi Johnston is a publicity seeker, seeking celebrity status and making a name for himself -- it is so apparent! At the same time, making Sarah Palin look like some kind of monster and making a joke out of her....

  • At the risk of stating the obvious, that was not an apology: it was Conan making Johnston look even more like the putz he is by faking an apology while getting a second chance to give his audience a chance to see the real quotes were even more vapid...

  • Why is "The Insider" so hell-bent in giving Levi Johnston so much coverage? This young man is a bitter loser who couldn't make it with Sarah Palin's daughter and now he'll do anything to get and maintain his 15 minutes of fame. NOt to discredit...
