It's Official

Well, it’s unfortunate but official, Conan O’Brien is leaving The Tonight Show with his last performance coming this Friday, January 22nd. For the past week, Conan has been opening the show with monologues fun filled with heavy hitting blows at NBC and Jay Leno, leaving you with this sense that his time is limited. On Tuesday, he opened by saying, “Hi, I’m Conan O’Brien and I’m just three days away from the biggest drinking binge in history.” Well the deal has been inked, which is said to be worth $45M. NBC will pay Conan about $32.5M and the rest will be divided amongst his staff. The deal also has some stipulations, like Conan will not be able to perform on air on any other network until September 2010. So, for all you Conan fans, you’ll have to Tivo or DVR his last 2 shows if you want to get your fix in the future.
