Conan O'Brien Says He Will Not Bad-Mouth His Old Bosses

Conan O'Brien has made a living at making fun of just about everyone, including himself. So how could a professional pessimist like O'Brien not make fun of his former network or bosses?

Looks like we're about to find out. According to an article in the Wall Street Journal, one of the stipulations of O'Brien's $45 million settlement is that he cannot bad-mouth NBC or the broadcasting company's higher-ups.

"We wanted to give him a graceful exit," Jeff Gaspin, chairperson of NBC Universal Television Entertainment, said. "Hopefully, he will be graceful."

The giant leprechaun that is Conan O'Brien has always been many things, but grace and tact aren't on his list of attributes. On one recent episode of his show, he actually just blatantly insulted NBC in song, so that he wasn't actually saying it and breaking the settlement. And then, just in case, he did it again the next night, in Spanish. "Morons, they're all morons," appeared to be the chorus.
