The Age of Conan

If you know what internet is, by now you probably know about the whole Leno-Conan-NBC fiasco. If you’re still aloof from the whole situation, give this a reading. Everyone has been talking about this, and in the end, it seems Conan will lose his show, get a whole lot of money, and Jay Leno will be back on air on what time he used to come at night. But no one fails to take pot shots at one other. As a result, the ratings of both the shows, Conan’s and Leno’s, have gone up like crazy, and continue to climb new heights every day due to the antics of the hosts.
As a part of further poking fun and making a mockery out of NBC, Conan O’Brien decided to go a little out of the way by spending over $ 1.5 million on a small gig on his show. As per the contract, NBC has to pay for everything that happens on the show, and Conan took advantage of the same by taking some sweet revenge.
