Conan's Staying on the West Coast?

Conan bailing out on CPW

Conan O'Brien, who's already negotiated a $45 million exit deal from "The Tonight Show," is looking for another windfall. The unemployed entertainer's Central Park West penthouse duplex is quietly being shopped around with a $35 million price tag reports The Post's Andy Wang. The south-facing co-op in the twin-towered Majestic at West 72nd Street comes with three terraces and dramatic park views. The apartment is a combination of an 18th-floor penthouse that O'Brien bought in 2007 for about $10 million and the combined-unit residence that he and his wife, Liza, already owned on the 17th floor. The building, on the former site of the Majestic Hotel, once housed mobsters including Mafia boss Frank Costello, who suffered only minor wounds when he was shot in the lobby during a failed assassination attempt in 1957.

Conan O'Brien Staying Close To Fox, Selling His New York Apartment

The currently unemployed Conan O'Brien is quietly shopping his Central Park West penthouse duplex for a $35 million, according to the New York Post.

Conan relocated, with his wife Liza, from his home in New York to the West Coast to star in The Tonight Show.

Perhaps Conan wants to stay close to new opportunities. He is reportedly in talks with Fox to start a late night show with the network. News Corp's TV production studios, Fox Television Studios, which produces USA Networks' Burn Notice and Fox's late night Wanda Sykes Show, is located in Beverly Hills.

If he sells his New York home for the asking price, Conan would make $25 million off the 18th floor penthouse, which he bought in 2007 for $10 million, the Post reports. That would add to the $45 million settlement he got from NBC to leave the network and never come back.

Conan has reportedly been paying some of his staff severance out of his pocket, so he might need some cash soon while he figures out his big TV comeback.

We can't wait.

Conan's Last Show Turns into Ratings Gold for The Tonight Show

The Ratings for Conan's Last Show Were the Highest He Has Had as a Host

The Tonight Show ratings for Conan O'Brien on Friday night earned a 7.0. It was a remarkable ratings showing for Conan O'Brien and the perfect way to end his run as host of the show. During an episode where Conan O'Brien shared how happy he was to have worked at Conan's Last Show Turns into Ratings Gold for The Tonight ShowNBC for so many years, viewers tuned in to see O'Brien go out with a lot of class and humility. The ratings win is also something to hang on to as O'Brien heads into the sunset, most likely gearing up to work for a different network in the fall of 2010. For now though, this was the last time that we will see O'Brien as a host on television at least until September.

Conan's final show ratings are just an estimate until the official ratings come out on January 28th, and sit at a 7.0 rating and 16 share for his last hour on television. With DVR recordings still to be counted, as well as several metered markets still not released, the chance exists that his numbers could even go up by the time they are made official. In comparison, The Late Show with David Letterman brought in a rating of 2.5 for a 5 share, with ABC's Nightline earning a 2.8 rating and 6 share. Letterman hadn't seen third place in the time slot for quite some time, but on Conan's final night he probably didn't mind as much as if it had been Jay Leno.

The great ratings for Conan also led to a successful night for Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, which earned a 3.3 rating and 10 share for his time slot. That beat out the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson by nearly double. Those who kept with NBC after Conan's final show got to see Jimmy Fallon pay tribute to Conan O'Brien and his show in New York in a very funny moment. Starting in the hallway of his studio, he showed how close the old Conan O'Brien studio was, and took that stage with his house band (The Roots) to perform a few bars from the Boyz II Men song "It's So Hard to Say Good Bye", before pouring some whiskey on the ground in honor of Conan. It was quite a great moment perpetrated by Fallon.
