The Highest-Paid TV Hosts of All Time

Conan O'Brien

Conan O'Brien has been the face of several talk shows, including Late Night with Conan O'Brien, The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien, and Conan. The 57-year-old has a net worth of $95 million and makes $12 million per year. After the retirement of David Letterman in 2015, O'Brien became the longest-working active late-night talk show host in America.

After writing stints with Saturday Night Live and The Simpsons, Conan O'Brien took over for Jay Leno on The Tonight Show. However, ratings dropped, and Leno returned several months later. O'Brien then moved on to The Late Show, in which he replaced David Letterman. In 2010, O'Brien went on to host Conan. He has recently announced his departure from TBS to launch a new variety show on HBO Max in 2021.
