As part of his deal with Time Warner’s Turner Broadcasting to host a late-night show on TBS, O’Brien will have ownership of the show.

Would O'Brien having ownership not give him a great amount of freedom? I don't understand that part of the TV business but I would think that him having ownership not give him freedom. I don't know if most of these TV host deals give the host ownership. I'm not pretending to know. It just sounds like to me if he has ownership he would also have quite a bit of creative freedom. Seems like a fair assumption to me.
My point with the hosts have done sketches together when Conan was on NBC. (The fight between the three of them on NBC and also Colbert and Conan arguing about who "made Huckabee") I would also assume that they would increase when they are all in more similar television situations.
