While Jay Leno is busy driving around his army of classic cars and shilling for shows on other networks, the Tonight Show’s host-in-exile Conan O’Brien appears to have lost his mind. But thankfully, TV’s redheaded stepchild is Twittering about it.

“Today I interviewed a squirrel in my backyard and then threw to commercial,” Conan wrote in his first — and so far only — Tweet. “Somebody help me.”

And judging by the more than 230,000 followers Conan’s picked up in less than a day, he’s got plenty of people willing to help if he truly needs it.

There’s always a job for him here at Consumerist.

Oh yeah, you might not know it, but we’ve got a Twitter page too… just sayin’.
