I would be surprised, however, if whatever clause is in that contract is an actual non-compete. More than likely, it's a liquidated repayment or "poison pill" clause.

EDIT: Or a series of clauses. Either way, it'd be interesting to see what both parties signed because this result had to be a potential foreseeable consequence when NBC decided to lock Conan up several years ago.

In CA, Non-competes are non-enforceable; trust me on this one. If (and a big if) that's the case, NBC is going to lose big.
