Reports: Conan may get paid $32 million

Don’t feel so bad for Conan.

He’s losing the “Tonight Show” but channeling the Wayans brothers, CoCo could get paid mo’ money, mo’ money, mo’ money.

TMZ says it has confirmed reports that NBC could give Conan O’Brien a $32.5 million see-ya-later alligator package.

His employees will also receive a severance.

The catch according to TMZ is that any money Conan makes during his remaining contract period with NBC will offset what the network actually has to pay him.

This means that if FOX or another network picks him up and pays him top dollar, NBC’s obligation will be a lot less.

What do you think?
