Conan O'Brien Gets the Last Laugh...for REAL.

Sure, Conan O'Brien is getting the short end of the stick from NBC with the whole "Tonight Show timeslot conflict," but he might have gotten the last laugh. [Note: I'm taking a late pass for this because it was from his January 21st episode.] Conan discovered that even though he was leaving the Tonight Show, NBC was still required to fully finance his last episodes. Not only that, but he's also getting $30-40 million from the network to walk away from the show. So you get paid MILLIONS to NOT come to work ANNNND they're gonna pay for everything on your last shows???? What would Conan do?? I'll give you a hint: It's "crazy expensive."

Wasting literally millions of NBC's money while they pay you to do it...?? Gangster.

Conan O'Brien, you sir, have gotten the last laugh.
