Conan Supporters Plan a Rally at NBC – Proceeds to go to Haiti

CoCo supports will rally outside NBC studios Monday.

Although the deal between NBC and Conan O’Brien to transition him out of his Tonight Show gig (paid and free as a bird) seems to be all but inked, fans of Conan (who have been extremely vocal in expressing their discontent with NBC and their treatment of Conan) are not done.

Call it a parting hug to Conan (or a final snub to NBC) but supports of Conan have planned to rally at The Tonight Show studio at NBC headquarters in Universal City, CA, on Monday, January 18 (12pm – 4pm).

The supporters have created a Facebook Event page where you can RSVP to join the rally. The description of the event reads. Proceeds from event (purchasing tee-shirts and posters) will go towards aiding Haiti in recovering from its devastating earthquake last week.

While the organizers claim Conan’s Tonight Show staff are backing the event (according to The Hollywood Reporter), I would be cautious in believing it. It would be a dangerous thing to do in light of Conan’s negotiations (he has allegedly hard-wired into his NBC settlement that, in his absence, they take care of his staff who uprooted their lives to work on The Tonight Show with him).
