The NBC jokes are usually funny but they will get stale if he keeps it up, only for the chance that it could ever possibly even smell like self-pity, which he's done a good job at avoiding throughout the entire drama. He's rich as fuck and does not have to worry about anything, even if he retired now.
Conan is not rich as fuck, as you say. He could probably retire, but he'd live most likely a middle class existance. He's not hobknobbing with Puffy and Donald Trump.
...what? He got $45,000,000 to walk from NBC. With that and whatever he's earned from hosting forever he's got to be close to $100m.
He had to move from NYC area to LA during the middle of a housing crisis. Also, that $45 mill included a lot of money he passed directly on to his staff to keep them from being fucked over in the interim.
He may have some money saved, but the circumstances of the move and having to help out his staff may have left him more tapped than you'd naturally assume.
Not to mention NBC was where he buttered his bread for years, but since he took his stand he'll probably never work for them again. I mean he's probably missing out on some good money by taking the stand he did, which is doubly impressive when you stop to remember he's a family man with wife and kids.
I'm sure he was crying all the way to the bank this summer while he played a nationwide, sold-out in minutes tour.
Conan as middle class is pretty much the most hilarious thing I've ever seen. Or sad. Just because your 5 million dollar house is expensive, and along with the private school payments, your multi-million dollar retirement plan, and your four 100k car payments is only leaving you with *gasp* two thousand dollars extra every month, IT DOESN'T MAKE YOU MIDDLE CLASS. IT MAKES YOU RICH AS FUCK.

You and geek girl are clearly joking or just have no idea what you're talking about.
Conan is filthy fucking rich. A quick Google suggests a networth of 75million and the "much less" he's getting at TBS is $10,000,000/year. Hell, he was born wealthy (his dad was a medical professor at Harvard, his Mom was a corporate lawyer and they lived in a rich Boston near suburb). It doesn't make him a bad guy, it just makes him a funny, apparently good guy who is also fucking rich.
There are some really amazing ideas about money in this thread.
want to hear a really amazing idea about money?
Theoretically, if you take two bills and cut them up into thirds, you have 6 thirds. Which means you have 3 sets of 2/3's. Which means you could redeem the parts for 3 bills worth of money at a bank!
I had already seen it, but the "What?" montage is still funny.
I'm assuming that since Charlene's line in the unnamed sitcom she got fired from was about using a laser to cook noodles or something, it was The Big Bang Theory, right?
Other than the brief Masturbating Bear appearance, no characters have shown up at all. I assume they'll be back (possibly in "slightly differently named to avoid problems with NBC" form) over the course of the show; they're still in the "back on a new channel" jokes phase.
I assume once Robert Smigel is available, they'll be an appearance by Triumph or some insult comic animal puppet variant.
All of Harrison's interviews are like that. He's a man who clearly does not like doing the media circuit when promoting a new movie.
Yeah. Now that I look at others, it seems like he just doesn't like that sort of thing. (But he still seemed... Kinda... spaced out.)
Also, I did not know you could say "Shit" on basic cable
I'm fairly certain that barely counted as an 'interview', it was all Conan talking and Harrison looking around and occasionally saying a couple words. I'm surprised he was able to follow what Conan was telling even half the time.

He has to support his 14 kids!

It was the reason why he didn't sign with Fox: Fox wanted to run the show with a smaller budget than Late Night had.
He's rich and principled, which is a rare as a unicorn these fucking days

I thought they were going to have a whale swing into scene like the meteor on the tonight show, but the water was an unexpected and delightful twist

Almost scary weird.
I don't like Conan's new show.
It's exactly like his last two.
of course I went into it not expecting very much since he's been off TV for some time and i figured it'd take him time to get back on his stride.

Yeah that was incredibly awkward.
I'm not watching right now, but it sounds like how he looks when he usually appears on talk shows.
He's not just high, he's in low earth orbit
so
stoned.
NO YOU DO NOT WANT TO DO ANOTHER INDIANA JONES
This sums up the Ford interview pretty good.

I would be too if I was dating a skeleton and had no career.
See, now *that* is an interview. Sure, he's a little quirky, but that was nothing like tonight.
lets be fair. he definitely has a career
every interview he's ever done, he is like this
odd guy
