Are you kidding? The Tonight Show is one of NBC's top revenue and profit generators. Why shouldn't the key person responsible get a big share of the profits also?
A little trivia - Jay Leno doesn't spend any of his Tonight Show salary. He's even said he doesn't even involve himself in the negotiations because he doesn't care - he agent does EVERYTHING.

Conan is definitely the shit, but Leno compared to Letterman, come on, Leno sucks ass, its so boring. But I think Conan definitely out does all of them, except for maybe the Daily Show.
conan is the best... leno is better than letterman but his show isnt very good... letterman just isnt funny at all, sometimes jay has his moments... did i mention letterman sucks?

That's what he said in Seinfeld's movie, but I'm sure he's going to or already has dipped into it to buy a couple cars. He didn't make that much money before the show started.

conan isn't as funny as he used to, not cause andy left, they do the same skits over and over, the game where they take a pic of magnifiy it and stuff, they need to bring back the real funny ones, the staring contests, taking the desk for a drive, and in the year 2000

They still take the desk for a drive and do the year 2000...
It's not about how good or bad Leon is, but how much money he brings to the network.
People there could care less. As long as he brings the eyeballs they're happy.
Leno is serving a very important purpose for NBC, and not just because of the revenue he brings in....
there's still a very "old" audience out there...and he's a "medium ground" talent between the "old" style of talk show (Johnny Carson) and the "newer" style (Conan, Kimmel and Letterman at times). The "old" audience still likes the lame, scripted bits that Jay does, and doesn't get the edgier stuff.
In 10 years, or whenever Leno retires, the current "older" audience will be irrelevant, and the sensibilities of the mass audience will be such that someone like Conan will be accepted as the host of the country's "flagship" late night broadcast.
Personally, i watch the Daily Show and Tough Crowd, then Kimmel until Conan comes on.
haha, say what you wnat bout homeboy, but his checks most likely can buy you and still have change left over and i mean one of his weekly checks after uncle sam gets his...27 million and how much you ythink NBC is making...if they can pay him that much..just like ballplayers if the boss paying them, they must be making the real money...stop the hate and up your game and maybe you can be worth that much
