If he went and got another show in a similar time slot, it would just be very backstabby, showing that he doesn't care for Jimmy in the least bit. Maybe it's all fair in TV land, but in terms of real life, it would not be cool, especially given his history with Conan.
I don't get this. He is being forced out of his job, why does he owe it to Fallon or anyone else to leave the spotlight. He is still being a good soldier, bringing along Fallon, as he did Conan before him. But once the checks stop why should he have to give up something he obviously enjoys. If he can get a show on CNN then all the power to him.
