Conan O'Brien Lists His New York City Penthouse

Filed under: Estates, Celebrity Shopping

Conan O'Brien, is finally, sadly out at NBC (and with a sweet $45 million kiss off to boot) but that doesn't mean he is returning to New York City to live. In fact the New York Post reports that O'Brien's massive Central Park West penthouse duplex at the Majestic is "quietly being shopped around" for a heavy price tag of $35 million (alas no listing yet). The prime co-op unit is composed of two units, an 18th-floor penthouse that O'Brien bought in 2007 for around $10 million plus an already combined unit residence on the 17th floor. The south-facing home has three terraces and views of Central Park West. The twin towered Art Deco styled Majestic has 238 apartments. It was once home to some of the former heads of the Luciano crime family (later called the Genovese crime family) including Meyer Lansky, Lucky Luciano and Frank Costello. The Real Estalker reminds us that in early 2008, O'Brien and his wife Liza paid $10.75 million for a six-bedroom home in the Brentwood area of Los Angeles, could he be staying in Los Angeles to take the helm at another late night show? Stay tuned.

Burger Joint Makes Jay Leno A Tasty Offer

by Deidre Woollard (RSS feed) —

Should "The Tonight Show" not work out for Jay Leno, one Michigan restaurant has a backup plan for him. Jaws Jumbo Burgers in Farmington Hills has offered Leno a franchise if his next run at NBC late night television ends up not being a success. Just to show that the company is serious it sent an offer to Leno's agent and NBC Universal and posted an ad in the Los Angeles Daily News offering him a Jaws franchise in Burbank, California or anywhere else.

Jaws Jumbo Burgers has courting Leno for a long time. The Detroit News' Neil Rubin reports that when Leno was still hosting "The Tonight Show" the restaurant invited him in for a bite and even named the "Thank You Jay Leno" double-decker burger after him in honor of Leno's performance for out-of-work Michiganians last spring. Check out the video offer from Jaws after the jump. They make a pretty convincing argument.
