Conan O’Brien has a big decision to make that could affect millions of loyal fans. NBC has decided to put Jay Leno back into the 10pm time slot and boot Conan’s show to midnight. NBC is getting a lot of flack from viewers and supporters in favor of leaving Conan in the current time slot. Conan moved his entire family and staff 3000 miles to accommodate the new time slot just a few short months ago.
Sources from Conan’s camp say he is debating quitting the network all together or tucking his tail between his legs and moving back the late, late time slot. Rumors are swirling that the Fox network may be more than happy to hire Conan to host a show that would go up against Leno’s NBC show.
The schedule change comes after NBC nixed Leno’s primetime show because of low ratings and in order to please the star they are giving him the coveted slot. There have been some suggestions that Leno threatened to move to Fox if the network did not give into his demands. Jimmy Fallon’s show will also be moved if the schedule lineup goes through.
I am excited to know if Conan will go to Fox because I am huge fan of his BUT also being a huge fan of Johnny Carson AND Dave Letterman, I can’t watch his show because I DISLIKE Leno so much. He proved with Johnny that he is cutthroat and out for his own gain. I wonder if Conan has gotten in touch with Dave because we all know NBC screwed him too? That’s why it was so cool that the only appearance Johnny ever made on TV was on Letterman’s show!
