Billy Crystal's costly chat

15-08-2007 14:00

Billy Crystal wants to rake in $20 million-a-year as a late-night TV talk-show host.

The 'Analyze This' star is keen to land a lucrative spot as the host of one of US TV's most popular chat shows.

It is believed he would like to take over from Conan O'Brien on NBC show 'Late Night with Conan O'Brien' in two years time.

O'Brien is due to replace popular TV personality Jay Leno on 'The Tonight Show' when Leno quits the show in 2009.

A source is quoted by the New York Post newspaper as saying: "Billy was initially set on Conan O'Brien's slot when Conan takes over from Jay Leno on 'The Tonight Show' but even if that didn't work out he would do something along those lines.

"He's looking for a five-year contract paying $20 million-a-year."

Crystal is no stranger to hosting high profile shows.
