While Carson Daly continues to get lambasted for continuing to tape his show during the strike, Conan O'Brien is getting kudos for helping his staff through the shutdown.

Variety reports:

O'Brien, host of NBC's "Late Night With Conan O'Brien" will cover the salaries of his nonwriting production staff -- nearly 80 people -- for the foreseeable future, an NBC Universal spokeswoman confirmed. O'Brien will foot the payroll bill starting next week, barring a resolution in the WGA work stoppage, which wrapped its 25th day on Thursday.
