   So the market for NOT DOING A SHOW is $30M?  Cool.  I'm not doing a show.   
   Where is my payoff?  I'll take a million and be quite happy.   
      
   I don't get it.  How does the financial situation make Conan's financial   
   good fortune any less amazing?  Money for nothing is always sweet my friend.   
   I'd love to get "screwed" like that.
