I think so. Cause he still gets paid no matter what due to his contract w/NBC which is 20 mill for 4 years I think. -- nm

well, i think NBC will probably want to get paid off by Fox in exchange for not putting up a fight in letting Conan go - fatsquatch Jan 11, 10:15 5
- Interesting. Does NBC consider it sunk cost, or will they try to recover some of it by letting Conan walk, interesting question. - musubi Jan 11, 10:19 3
  - the money is huge, like $45 million. they won't just eat it -- nm - fatsquatch Jan 11, 10:20 2
    - I would think that if financial concerns were paramount, the logical thing would be to boot Leno rather than Conan. - musubi Jan 11, 10:24 1
      - I've been wondering if Leno learns from Favre's non-example and just backs away. -- nm - TFox Jan 11, 10:25
- I think NBC violates the contract first by moving Conan's timeslot. Conan now has "hand". -- nm - Mop (228 lbs) Jan 11, 10:17
