Conan O’Brien discusses the most recent drama about who gets what time slot on NBC’s late night (watch video below). Jay Leno is rumored to be getting his time slot back after the Winter Olympics but what happens to Conan?

He doesn’t have a lot of options: Conan leaves NBC with tons of money and does nothing for the next four year, Conan leaves NBC for FOX, which would raise several contract issues, or Conan takes the time slot right after Jay for the same salary he has now (that sounds good to me!).

During his opening monologue on Friday (January 8), Conan joked about the whole situation, saying, “We’ve got a great show for you tonight. I have no idea what time it will air – but it’s going to be a great show”, and, made a list of rumors that ended with the foreshadowing: “NBC is going to throw me and Jay in a pit with sharpened sticks. The one who crawls out gets to leave NBC.” LUV Conan!!
