The Conan

When a network terminates a long-lasting relationship with one of its stars and then prohibits him/her from appearing on television for a set period of time.

This entertainment industry term comes from the 2010 Tonight Show conflict when NBC decided to give The Tonight Show back to Jay Leno, while previous host Conan O'Brien was given a contract prohibiting him from make any appearance on television until May 2010 and prohibiting him from returning to television as a host until September 2010.

MSNBC ended its contract with Keith Olbermann, and they're giving him The Conan for at least six months.

The Conan

When your job with a television company is broken off and a provision contract states that you can't be on the air for the next 6 months

Props to Conan and TBS for this joke!

The greatest late-night talk show host ever.

I watch Conan every night.

Conan

Someone who stands well over 6 feet tall and is blessed with the powers of humor and intelligence.

Conan is a huge stack of man and I would buy his sexy fine ass a lifetime-supply of Outback Steakhouse curly fries if he'd marry me. =D

Conan

A late night host who has mastered both witty commentary, and John Cleese-esque comedy of utter silliness.

A favorite of mine is the New Years episode with Caroline Rhea.

The greatest of the great late-night talk show hosts, who will take over for Leno at the tonight show in 2009.

Conan is so much better than that no-talent assclown/fucktard Leno.
