Conan O'Brien is on fire tonight!

[Dartful Dodger]

Ive heard the 200 number quoted before, but surely that would include a lot of local people hired on to help with the show, carryovers from Jay, and straight up studio people who arent going anywhere.

If I bought a house in another state before I lost my job, I wouldn't be in a hurry to go anywhere.

Unless I found another job outside of that state I'd be waiting a couple of years for the housing market to pick up.

By that I meant, Im sure some of the 200 people quoted work for the studio, janitors, techs, whatever.  Probably work that and other jobs in the California area.  I highly doubt 200 people all moved from NYC.  But I guess I dont know.  There arent 200 writers, musicians, bit actors (would those even move?) and admin staff is my suggestion.

200 according to MTV

Sorry but a job's a job and there are no guarantees in life. If you make 40k a year sweeping a floor, and get a year's + salary as severence, you're sitting pretty regardless what he of the big head and red hair gets.

I was never a fan of late night TV and never really cared for Conan, but caught tonight's show and gotta say that I was very impressed by his farewell speech .

Wow. 

I didn't get to see Leno's show on Friday; for some odd reason, there was this NBC special on the top 10 most horrifying events ever captured on film. I kept thinking that it was somehow a joke, that the lead up would lead to Conan's cancellation at #1. Nope, very real stuff, followed by the news. As if that hour long show wasn't depressing enough, it led into the news at 10, followed by Conan's final show. At least The Tonight Show was wonderfully done to offset some of the sadness.
