NBC Universal boss Jeff Zucker — widely seen as the one to blame for the late night mess NBC finds itself in — has threatened to keep Conan O'Brien off the air for three-and-a-half years if he does not accept the network's offer to host the "Tonight Show" at 12:05.
Wow... NBC just loves wasting money. Didn't they also have Jimmy Fallon on their payroll for a couple of years before he took over for Conan just to prevent him from accepting another job?

I guess it just depends what Conan's contract actually says. Was the time slot stipulated?
