Deal nears for Conan exit from NBC

Posted by Cory Bergman on January 16, 2010

Conan O’Brien will leave NBC after just 7 months as host of the Tonight Show, says the Hollywood Reporter. The trade mag says final details are still being negotiated, but the deal will allow Conan to join another network — and give the host a parting gift of 30-40 million dollars. Jay Leno will return to the Tonight Show in March.
