A traveler overhears Pat O'Brien grousing in American's Admiral's Club about the legal problems surrounding his move from NBC's Access Hollywood to the syndicated The Insider at Paramount. (Quick, boring background: NBC-Uni is suing Paramount to stop O'Brien from starting work on the new show.)

Pat O'Brien, Flagship Lounge, LAX. Today. He's on his way on the 8 a.m. flight to JFK.

Some 20 something year old (appeared to be a Hollywood-type intern) walks up to him and say's, "Hey, Mr. O'Brien, I'm working on the Insider with you." He replies, "Oh, that's nice. Did you hear NBC is suing me for like 108 million dollars?"

Does anyone believe that O'Brien's celebrity salad-tossing services are worth $100 million? We wouldn't pay him to host a show in frequent flyer miles and free drink tickets.
