This is not like when Letterman left NBC. He was offered a show on CBS FOX and ABC . Only one network is showing interest in Conan. I predicted that The Jay Leno Show would fail and I also said Conan would fail on The Tonight Show. Let's see how good I do now. I predict Conan won't get a new late night deal. The environment has changed.

Actually I heard on tv this week end , that even FX the cable network is interested in Conan. So if not FOX then maybe FX.

FX is owned by FOX, so this is not exactly a competition.

But if they really want the ratings will they put him on FX? I don't think so

I read that Comedy Central, USA, TNT, FX, and other cable channels are also interested, not just FOX(I can't find the link right now). He'll have many options, and I think a cable channel where he's not reigned in will fit him much better. He could join the Daily Show and Colbert on Comedy and have a killer trio of comedy shows.

Yes, it's true, Conan O'Brien sent his first Tweet less than half an hour ago:

Today I interviewed a squirrel in my backyard and then threw to commercial. Somebody help me.

If he wants to make it he will need to go to CBS, FOX ABC. Forget about the other channels. And again, I'm really starting to believe he won't be back with any show.

Fox may be getting resistance from affiliates who are used to programming news or sitcom reruns in that time slot. The FX thing may bea way to start the program while Conan still has some buzz and then move it to FOX when the affilaites go along.

FOXNews.com - Conan O'Brien to Debut New Late-Night Show on TBS

Conan O'Brien, who counted his viewers in the millions on NBC's "Tonight," is playing to a small-town crowd of 2,500 -- and no TV cameras -- as he opens a two-month, nationwide comedy tour Monday.
But his absence from television will be short-lived. Just hours before O'Brien took the stage, it was announced that he will host a late-night show on TBS starting as early as November. George Lopez, already in the cable channel's lineup, will move his show to midnight to make room for O'Brien at 11 p.m. Eastern.
