The Tonight Show stirred up a bit and we do mean just a bit of controversy Wednesday night by having William Shatner do a dramatic reading of Twitter updates purportedly written by Palin family scourge and soon to be Playgirl model Levi Johnston.

Except they werent really Johnstons authentic tweets. They were those of an impostor using Johnstons name, and his lawyer demanded an apology. He got one, in a manner of speaking, on Thursdays show. But its hard to pick a fight with a guy who has his own TV show.

Id like to personally apologize to Levi Johnston, and his lawyer and publicist, for misrepresenting him in any way, Conan OBrien said on Thusdays broadcast. Levi is clearly a great American, and we wish him the best of luck as he trains for his upcoming naked photo shoot.
