NBC To Pay Conan $30 Million?
NBC has reportedly agreed to pay late night talk show host Conan O’Brien $30 million to vacate the 11:35 p.m. Tonight Show.
Conan’s publicist Leslee Dart tells The Wrap: “Nothing (is) signed yet. Those figures are not accurate.”
The Wrap reports, “Under this proposal, the sooner O’Brien starts a new gig — if he starts one — the less money it would have to pay. So if Conan managed to land a new job at Fox within a year, the Peacock might shell out less than the full $30 million.”
