Update on the Late Night Wars Part 2: NBC is offering Conan $30 million to return the Late Show to Leno. A lot of people who've supported Conan through this see it as a sell-out. I see it from a different perspective. Conan's already been put in a bad situation, NBC obviously doesn't believe in him, so what's he supposed to do. I think he should take the $30megabuck and get out of dodge, seems like the most reasonable thing to do. He can take his money and get back to his routes script writing sketch comedy or sitcoms - he'd be a huge bonus to a show like "30 Rock". Even better, like I mentioned in my previous article - he could go native and start writing sketches for the guys at funnyordie.com and say buh bye to network TV altogether. I'm not worried about Conan, I think he did what was right and they called his bluff...I just hope he takes the golden parachute uses it as seed money for something even more spectacular. This would be the time for the reinvention of Conan.
