Reports saying NBC will keep all of Conan's material(characters, skits, etc), so no more 'In The Year 3000', 'Conando', etc.
Apparently Triumph might be an exception, because some are saying that Triumph actually belongs to Robert Smigel and not NBC.
I rarely watch late night television anymore, so I hadn't seen any of Conan on the Tonight show. With all the uproar, I went back and watched a few episodes. It's surprisingly unfunny. Doing his own thing is probably best for him.
Conan apparently intentionally used a bunch of licensed material on his show to run up NBC's bill.
, it really does sound like Conan's out of late night prospects. That article, and many like it, really don't give Conan a fair shake as far as why his ratings were so low. Ah, anyways, at least all of this is over, and Conan will actually be released from his contract.NBC: Conan O'Brien reaches $45M exit deal - Yahoo! News
Just watched the show. The Bugatti Mouse/Satisfaction.
Wherever he lands lets hope he gets one of those hold harmless "bang an intern" clause in his next contract.
Hey, that's really clever!
This is a crazy idea, but I'm going to throw it out there:
Conan opens for U2 in the U.S. and Canada next summer.
Coco's a huge fan, he's got tons of supporters who could help the shows sell out where sales have been surprisingly slow (NY, for example). He can do a longer version of his monologue, maybe introduce some new characters. It would certainly get him press attention and keep him from being forgotten in the months before his new venture begins. And it could get U2 some goodwill from some Gen Xers who are disparaging Our Band at the moment.
Just an idea...
