The Tonight Show's ratings have soared since Conan O'Brien's debacle with NBC due to their love affair with Leno. On Friday, viewership increased by 50%, beating out David Letterman.
"People who never watched Conan before are saying, 'I'll try it,"' said Conan's manager, Gavin Polone. "Now they're saying, 'This is good, I'll stick with it."'
And it's sweet vindication for them, but his exit won't be that easy!
Difficult negotiations between NBC and the Conester involve the characters that he's created during his time at the network, such as Triumph, the Pimpbot 5000 and the Masturbating Bear.
Classics!
Cones wants to take them with him wherever he goes and he might - but not without conceding to some other points! It's rumored that an iron clad non-disparagement clause may be involved.
Too bad. We all wanna hear the real shiz about NBC!
