While it's funny, I wish they'd found a way to donate that money to Haiti instead. -- nm

I doubt that clip cost much of anything. The car was a loaner. Maybe some royalties for the song. -- nm - Mop (229 lbs) Jan 21, 14:09
mick jagger should donate the royalties from the master recording of satisfaction ... maybe then NBC would pay to have it on the web :) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 21, 13:51 11
- Conan should probably donate a good portion of his buyout to Hati - eag Jan 21, 13:55 10
  - To be fair, we don't know that he doesn't. (nm) - musubi Jan 21, 14:01
  - Leno needs it less. I saw an interview last year and he said that he lives off his stand-up revenue and has not touched any Tonight Show money. -- nm - zork Jan 21, 13:59 1
    - He usually auctions off one of his vehicles for stuff like this -- nm - eag Jan 21, 14:01
  - that depends on whether there's an offset clause or not -- nm - Beryllium Jan 21, 13:56 6
    - A what clause? -- nm - eag Jan 21, 13:57 5
      - an offset clause would allow NBC to only pay conan a portion of the 32 million if he secures employment elsewhere (ie, fox) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 21, 14:03 4
        
        I read that in one article. -- nm - psilotum Jan 21, 14:12
        
        the 32 million is already offset. his original contract was for 60 million -- nm - i'm gay for batman Jan 21, 14:06 2
        
        I was under the impression that the 32 million was a "we'll only make you wait seven months" concession? -- nm - Beryllium Jan 21, 14:08 1
        
        There seems some confusion about whether there's an offset clause. NBC says there is, Conan's people seem to say there isn't. -- nm - Ender Jan 21, 14:15
If you can think of a way, I will email them. -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 21, 13:49 9
- Can't they just say it live on air? NBC can't very well turn around and go "check will not be honored" at that point. - David Jan 21, 13:52 8
  - "And if my banker is watching, let nothing STOP you from PAYMENT of this check." -- nm - Reagen Jan 21, 13:55 1
    - "And you thought you could stab your way out of the problem?" (nm) - David Jan 21, 13:56
  - the show isn't live -- nm - Beryllium Jan 21, 13:52 4
    - So? Unless they brainwash the audience, it gets out. -- nm - David Jan 21, 13:56 3
      - show is taped around 5pm or so. So they have 6 hours before it gets into NBC's hands.... - Remlik Jan 21, 14:01 2
        
        it's taped at 5 Pacific, airs at 11:35 Eastern. by 5 PST it's 8 in the east and all the suits have gone home. - howie Jan 21, 14:18 1
        
        You'd better believe that the suits are paying special attention to his show this week though. -- nm - Ender Jan 21, 14:21
  - YSMIM! -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 21, 13:52
