Sorry, Big Red Fans (No not I.U. Hoosier Fans) but rumors that Conan O’Brien is coming close to reaching a deal with FOX remain exactly that, rumors.
Gavin Polone, O’Brien’s manager, was quoted as saying the “Tonight Show” host’s future is, “far from a done deal.” He went on saying, “I don’t know where that’s all coming from. We’ve met with a few places and been in talks, but nothing is even near being finalized.”
According to Conan’s contract buyout with NBC (which O’Brien received a healthy $40 million for), Big Red cannot appear on television until September.
Conan O’Brien has been offered a plethora (a lot) of movie roles, all of which he has turned downed in preparation for his upcoming comedy tour.
