Conan O'Brien 'Talking' to FOX, Others About TV Return

By PopEater Staff Posted Mar 19th 2010 06:55AM

Those waiting anxiously for Conan O'Brien to regularly appear on their televisions again are getting closer to having their wishes come true.

O'Brien, who was ousted from 'The Tonight Show' by NBC and can't return on any network until September, is examining his options -- including FOX.

"They are definitely talking," O'Brien's rep Leslee Dart said, The Associated Press reports.

But she makes it clear that Rupert Murdoch's network "is by no means the only place he's talking right now."

"Everybody wants to get this done as soon as possible, regardless of where he ends up. But whether the reality is that he can get it done quickly, I don't know," Dart added.

Meanwhile, for those desperate for a Coco fix, O'Brien is headlining an upcoming comedy tour and fans can also follow him on Twitter.

O'Brien's ratings on NBC proved that he can't make it on late night, well maybe late late late night. But then Fox would put anything on the air...

It's simple, old people like Jay Leno and young people like Conan.

Fox will have to build him a whole entertainment center like they did at Universal for the Late Night Show that cost millions. After they were finished he apparently still was not happy! I guess that was someone elses fault too!

Great idea and I think he should replace that dreaded rediculous 'Red Eye' show. Heck I'll stay on Fox 24/7 then..

Conan late night show will be on Fox Network not on Fox News. Red Eye is alright I have watched it a few times.

Hell no not 80 but I sure know funny from boring which obviously you don't!

I never found Conan to be that funny, but Leno has changed the format that used to work for him so well before the NBCide. I don't know if he's trying to be too current and fails or has this thing with change, but it isn't working for me and furthermore, he's brought over some of the same downbeat elements of his doomed prime time show over to the Tonight show. The curtains are gone, so he's sort of imitating Conan on that and the theme is a good substitude for sleeping aid pills. I actually stay tuned for Jimmy (if the new Tonight Show doesn't put me out first), as in Fallon, and by the way, I'm an old guy.

Conan - I've always enjoyed your shows and was very disappointed that NBC and/or Leno pushed you out because you were better than Leno. I have to tell you though, if you decide to do a show on FOX, I will never watch it no matter how good it may be. It would be wrong of me to support a network so dedicated to lying to the American public. Don't do it!

Fox has good shows just don't watch Fox News if you don't like there view points don't take it out on everything else. I don't watch NBC news because of there bias I watch there shows if they are good thats how I see it I don't let the bias for news out on the whole network. If you like Conan you should support him no matter where he gos.
