Conan O’Brien and NBC have finally worked out a deal. The settlement has been reached. Conan pretty much came out on top. I mean if you look past the dagger in his back.
Conan will get $32.5 million and he can get another hosting job as soon as he’d like. Yay! That is good news. We won’t have to wait longer than necessary to see his back on the airwaves.
Conan’s Tonight Show staff will get $7.5 million and the exectuive producer gets $4.5 million.
The bad new for us Conan fans is that tomorrow night, Friday the 22nd will be Conan O’Brien’s final appearance on The Tonight Show. They aren’t even keeping him on until the Olympics like we originally thought! Who knows what they will air in his place. If it’s not Conan re-reuns, it’s crap and I won’t be tuning in.
Stay tuned for the announcement of Conan O’Brien signing a SWEET deal with FOX!
UPDATE: In the FINAL deal, Conan cannot do any shows until September 1, 2010. So, we will have some Conan withdrawals afterall…. I sure hate NBC.
