Is Conan Going To FOX?

Speculation continues to ring about now that Conan leaving NBC seems pretty much a done deal. Will he walk away with $40 million in his pocket and call it a day? Or will he jump over to another network to start a new late night dynasty?

Well, if you believe the rumors it looks like he will be making the jump over to rival network FOX for a new late night program. FOX just today registered ConanOnFox.com, and it was tied to a twitter account of the same name. This could be one of a few things. 1. FOX jumped the gun a bit, and registered the name first before anybody else could, which is the most likely scenario. 2. Conan has told FOX his intent to sign with them, and they are readying the marketing blitz. 3. Someone trying to be tricky registered the domain under FOX’s details.

It is amazing that this fiasco has gone on this long, and I’d love to just see it resolved. It makes for great entertainment for a while, but I feel it is about time to move on. Although right now it appears the hold up on getting it solved completely is not the money, but the rights to characters created on the show, and most importantly the amount of severance the staff on O’Brien’s show will get.

What do you think Conan should do? Will you watch Conan on FOX? Which late night host is your favorite? Leno, Conan, Letterman, Fallon, Ferguson, or Kimmel? Let us know in the comments!

  • Well, fox.com is registered to the FOX Corporation, has a valid address, and is registered through markmonitor.com. conanonfox.com is registered through GoDaddy and uses a domain privacy service. If they're trying to hide their intent, maybe. But Conan isn't a huge Twitter user either. I'm betting its not legit.

  • Conan is a true talent - if he has his own show at the same time, he will reign supreme over Leno and Dave.

    I for one, am very tired of Leno, and his attitude, and Dave just creeps me out.

    Conan is the only one of the three with talent, anyone could do what Dave and Jay do - Conan is an original.

  • Of course I will watch Conan on FOX!!! I admit it that I didn't watch enough, at first; I guess I never thought they would get rid of such a talented host.
    I love, love, love Triumph, the insult dog. The other characters are awful---especially the M-bear. Ugh!
    I wish Conan could come back sooner than September. He is, by far, the best late-night host since Johnny Carson. Different format than Carson, but Conan is hilarious. I love it when he leaves the studio and goes on assignment! Wonderful laughter before bedtime! We miss him!
