Conan O’Brien to Pay “Late Night” Staff During Strike

How much do we love Conan O’Brien? The late-night funny man is sharing his wealth by paying 75 staff members on his show while the strike continues. Conan O’Brien’s non-striking staff on “Late Night” will face layoffs after today, so O’Brien plans to pay their salaries next week.
According to NBC spokeswoman Rebecca Marks, “He’s paying the staffers’ salaries out of his own pocket.” “Late Night” production has been suspended since November 5th, when the writers’ strike began. Up until this point, NBC has been paying non-writing staff members, but whether the network will continue paying staff salaries for shows on hiatus is unclear. Conan O’Brien is ready to pick up where NBC drops off, however. For that, give Conan some love. Oh, and this too:
