NBC pays Conan $45M to leave.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100121/ap_en_ot/us_tv_leno_o_brien damn, such a stupid move. Do they really think moving Leno back to his normal time slot is going to earn them to much? Should have just told Leno he had to move or leave. I don't see any real way that moving Leno back to his normal time will earn them $45 million dollars. His current show is irrelevant idk what makes them think by moving him back he'll suddenly become popular again

I read it was 30 Million earlier. That is aloooot of money.

Yeah, 32million for him and another 12-13million to pay and distribute amongst his staff. It's going to be more than that since Conan spent 1.5million of NBC's money to acquire a million dollar car and rights to a Rollingstone song for a sketch bit on Wednesday night.

Awww you mean we won't be seeing even more threads about it? :'(

Conan should take his show to comedy central.

Wow. I would much rather see Conan stay, but o well.

Can he still make fun of NBC?priestinacloset

And I believe he has to wait until September until he's allowed to jump networks for a new show.

Lol @ NBC. They can never make up their minds.

I hope Conan finds a better broadcaster that appreciates his talent.

33 million? Hah, he doesnt even need to do anything any more. Well, depending on his lifestyle that is.

damn, all of that to stay home :shock: Something is wrong here..Tjeremiah1988

He should go to Comedy Central and do a show along side John Stewart and Stephen Colbert.

Those three guys would take over the world.

The Green Bay Packers offered Brett Favre $20 million 2 years ago just to stay retired.

Nothing is impossible these days.

he better donate all his money to charity.. he doesn't need 50 cars and a few houses. He should be forced to live in a two bed room living complex with a 10x10 foot yard.EMOEVOLUTION

Damn. I wish I could quit my job and just take $45 million. That guy is loaded for life.

My dream job is to someday get fired for a mindboggling amount of money. With my luck though, I'd pull a George Costanza and be unable to manage to get canned!nocoolnamejim

EDIT: also, if we lived in a world where everyone was fed, housed, free, and happy would you still be against this? Would you care about the money?
