Not quite, I heard him tell the story somewhere. Conan wanted him to be the head writer, and he didn't really want to do it, so he asked for a bunch of money. Then Conan went to the network and fought to get it for him, then he still didn't take it. He said Conan understood though, because he went through a similar thing when he was writing on The Simpsons. Like he could see this whole career laid out ahead of him an realized he actually wanted to do something different.
I guess the point is, I doubt Louis would take the job. I'm sure the money would give him pause, but I think/hope he doesn't want to be Jay Leno (who was considered one of the best stand-ups ever before he became the McDonalds of comedy).
