    Conan O’Brien Settles with NBC for $45 Million

    Conan n' Jay

    The Jay Leno vs. Conan O’Brien show time battle has ended!

    The battle ended with a $45 Million settlement for Conan O’Brien to leave his early spot, and to give it back to Jay Leno.

    Do you think $45 Million is enough severance pay to sew Conan’s heart back together? Can the money make Conan happy after what has happened? What will Conan do?

    Another crappy thing is that Conan can’t work on any other show until SEPTEMBER! The NBC statement said he would be free to work elsewhere “as soon as September”.

    I’d say Conan will be doing some major vacationing soon! Good for him. He needs some R&R after this B.S.! Cya in Maui Conan!

    That’s insane. I salute him for standing up for his staff and getting them money too. Yahoo said he was only getting 2.6m viewers. Thats with a studio and staff of 200. Some of the popular personalities on YT can pull 1m viewers by themselves.

    I’d like to see him become a free agent and make his own media. The only other person I know who did this is Adam Carolla. Can you think of others?
