Conan O'Brien, the clown with heart

Conan Paying Crew Severance Out Of Pocket: TMZ


...the NBC deal didn't go far enough and now Conan is paying for staff severance out of his own pocket.

TMZ reports that Conan's "Tonight Show" stagehands were not covered in his exit package, so he has promised to pay the nearly 50-person crew "at least six weeks severance out of his own pocket."

The crew union is "very happy" with Conan's handling of the situation, TMZ reports.

Was Conan going to pay Jay's writers when after taking over the Tonight show & not caring where Jay & his people went ?

Showbiz is cutthroat.

Yes, Showbiz is. That's why it's good when people like Conan make it a little less so.
