Conan O’Brien and NBC are now on the final stage in striking a settlement deal which will give Conan a large amount of money. And for Jay Leno, he gets his “The Tonight Show” back for a full hour between 11:35 pm to 12:35 am.

But the deal has strings attached, No more word bashing from Conan O’Brien and their will be a time period to take another hosting job.

According to TMZ, "NBC wants a liquidated damages clause if Conan says anything disparaging about the network once he leaves. Essentially that means there is a clause in the contract that says Conan will automatically pay a predetermined amount of money if he says bad things about NBC."

"NBC will be paying Conan a hefty sum, but that will be offset by any amount Conan makes for his next hosting gig. So if Conan makes a deal with FOX, NBC can reduce the amount it pays Conan by the amount FOX forks over."

Conan O'Brien reportedly will be collecting as much as $30 million.
