Yeah, apparently the new deal has been reached with Leno. Jeff Zucker is apparently pissed off that Conan has been as out-spoken as he has been, and that his ratings have gone up, and is trying to keep him off the air for three years (probably something similar to one of the WWE's no-compete clauses), so that he isn't a threat when he moves. Conan has apparently trying to make sure NBC looks after the staff that uprooted from New York to move to California.
Pretty intense stuff. I feel so sorry for Conan, but he is way too honest a person to be hosting a gig like that. He's been part of the greatetst talk show institution of all-time, so now he can hopefully create his own.
