In the deal to walk away from his job hosting NBC’s “The Tonight Show”, the Wall Street Journal is reporting the network will give Conan O’Brien $32.5 million to go on “garden leave” until September. This would prevent him from hosting any other TV shows but give him an option to sign other deals.
The other $7.5 million will go in severance to pay Conan’s roughly 200 “Tonight Show” employees.
In addition, the exit agreement bars O’Brien from bad-mouthing his former NBC bosses.
