NBC reaches deal to release Conan O'Brien - report
NEW YORK |
NEW YORK Jan 21 (Reuters) - NBC has reached an agreement with Conan O'Brien for him to end his short term as host of the "Tonight Show" so that Jay Leno can return as the face of the late-night comedy show, U.S. media reported on Thursday.
The deal will pay O'Brien and his staff $45 million to leave the show, MSNBC said on its website.
The deal was expected to be formally announced later on Thursday. (Reporting by Daniel Trotta; Editing by Paul Simao)
