Would anyone be OK with $40 Mils severance?

[SSSnail]

For failing at your job? I know I would be.

Yes, it's another Coco and the Chin thread, and I am disappoint.

 

[FoBoT]

no , i would lawyer up to get more

make them throw in a car at least

 

[DaWhim]

conan is not exactly getting 40MM, right? 40MM is for him and his tonight's show crews.

 

[JS80]

32m for co-none and 12m to split amongst staff

 

[JS80]

The real fail is zucker. He probably gets paid $25m a year for leading NBC down the toilet.

[BoomerD]

Yeah...I could get by until I found another part-time bookkeeping job...

 

[alkemyst]

for most of us i'd be insane not to take a $40MM payout.

For someone like Conan or other celebrities, it's probably not that great a deal unless they can become employed around their same level elsewhere within a few years/months/days.

Thats what a harvard degree gets you.

Had Johnny Carson did to Leno what Leno did to O'Brien, nobody would know who Jay Leno is. NBC would have pulled his sorry ass for poor ratings within a week, because (predictably) most Tonight Show fans would've followed Johnny Carson to wherever he went (except to the place they cannot follow him - retirement).

$40 million is nothing when talking about CEO golden parachutes. For example, the CEO of Home Depot got $210 million. link

 

[JMapleton]

Find a job where you become scarce or irreplacable and you can get that much coin.

 

[Balt]

Well, at least the American taxpayer isn't footing the bill.

Wait, what did Leno do to O'Brien?

Think again. Didn't the US government bail out GE? Thanks conan for raping the US taxpayer.

 

[0roo0roo]

depends how much you were paid to begin with.
its not like coco was earning 50k a year before.
loss of prestige and general ass f*ck esp since his entire crew had to upend their family/lives to move makes it all a bit sour regardless of the payout.

 

[0roo0roo]

hung around like a wet blanket.

he's right, if carson hung on in the wings dogging him leno would have probably had a rockier start.

 

[Newbian]

Well hopefully Fox takes him in.

Coco all the way.

Do you have a reputable site with that info? I'd like to share with others...

I think repeats of seinfeld / star trek tng so as long as they push the star trek episodes a bit later I won't mind.
