NBC Claims Conan O’Biren Is Posturing For His Image
Another day where we were supposed to get a resolution to the NBC vs. Conan O’Brien fight has come and gone with no word.
The big rumor floating around is that the last sticking point is over how much of a severance package is paid to the staff that followed Conan from New York City to Los Anageles. Sources have told TMZ that Conan is trying to take care of his staff, while NBC execs say he is posturing to make himself look good.
No matter what the real story is (I tend to discredit the “posturing” comment), Mr. O’Brien has dropped hint after hint that this Friday will be his last show. There is no word yet on what he will go off and do, but considering he is rumored to be getting $34.5 million, does he really need to do much of anything?
So, here we are entering into another day of a possible resolution. Hopefully it will actually come out today, but we shall see.
