So he decided to leave?

It wasn't his say; they exercised the 30+ million dollar termination fee in his contract.

So basically he doesn't have to work for a few months and gets 30+ million dollars.

Actually, he could have moved the Tonight Show to 12:05 and stayed on.

Is that so?  I could have sworn I heard that the 30m would have been his as long as they moved him out of the timelsot he was in.

Yeah, Conan had no 10:35 language in his contract from what has been reported.  He has, weakly (legally speaking), argued that the history of the Tonight Show "implied" the 10:35 timeslot but that was a losing battle honestly.

@topic,

The whole situation is kinda sad imo, I really can't blame Leno or Conan when the decisions that brought them to where they are came from much higher on the corporate food chain.
