Conan reveals ‘provisions’ in the $45 million NBC settlement – [VIDEO]
Conan filmed his next-to-last show as host of The Tonight Show and he still kept the jokes rolling while revealing that he’s taking all this in stride. Conan said of the change: “Obviously this was not our first choice, but I’m determined to make the best of this situation.”
Truthfully, this whole mess has inspired Conan and his team to really be on the ball this past week, so he’s going out funnier than ever with an opportunity to try something different.
From his monologue tonight (January 21, 2010), Conan reveals a few ‘provisions’ in his severance deal with NBC.
• “I am prohibited from coming within 500 yards of 11:30.”
• “I must return the Etch-A-Sketch my contract was written on.”
• “I’m not allowed to make fun of NBC programming. I have to let the programming speak for itself.”
• “The cop who escorts me off the lot after my last show must have the rank of lieutenant or higher.”
• “Max Weinburg surrender his key to the women’s locker room at the NBC gym.”
• “Have to watch at least one NBC show every weeknight in order to double ratings.”
• “Effective today, NBC will stop paying for Andy Richter’s medical marijuana, and medical Jack Daniels.”
• “Must stop production on my documentary expose of NBC: Inside the ‘Cock.”

The contract he signed today gives Conan a hefty severance package of $33 million, with about $12 million for his staff. However, CoCo managed to “milk another $1.5 mill” from NBC Wedsnesday by building a new character for a comedy sketch. The character is The Bugatti Veyron Mouse, a car that looks like a mouse.
The frivolous spending is sexy, especially since is messes with NBC’s projected net gain from but the deal, but The Bugatti Veyron Mouse it’s no masturbating bear. Thursday night Conan also revealed another character, $4.8 million racehorse wearing a mink Snuggie and watching limited-access Football.
