So the final settlement has now been reached - Conan O'Brien and NBC can sleep easier now.

Especially Conan - just in case he really wants to get right back to work fast. That means - that part of the agreement where he couldn't do another show anywhere until September has been removed.

 And he will get the full $32.5 million - so that's not bad at all! His staff is not going out empty-handed either, NCB will pay them $7.5 million. Plus - his executive producer is walking away with a healthy $4.5 million. Adding it all up - $45 million - whoa!

Conan's last show will be this Friday and there has not been an announcement as to who or what will replace him until the coverage of Winter Olympics starts.

I have an idea! How about " The Best of Conan?" or maybe "The Best of Jay"? Whatever - let's talk about something else the next time!
