Conan skewers NBC:

"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," Conan said during his monologue last night.

"NBC is going to throw me and Jay in a pit with sharpened sticks. The one who crawls out gets to leave NBC," he quipped. "That is an appealing proposition."

A move to Fox might be good for Conan - he won't have to water down the show there.

Conan looking to leave NBC?

"He's done a great job for NBC. He moved his entire staff, he moved his family to LA. And five months later, they repay him like this?"

As it stands now, the source said, "Conan would be happier somewhere else."

The pompadoured host has "many options," including a move to Fox, which for years has been looking to create its own late-night show.

Network Chairman Jeff Gaspin confirmed that he was pushing a new late-night arrangement: Leno at 11:35 p.m., hosting a half-hour show, and Conan at 12:05 a.m. hosting the one-hour "The Tonight Show."

Jimmy Fallon's "Late Night" would then be pushed back to the remarkably late -- or super early -- hour of 1:05 a.m.

"My goal is to keep Jay, Conan and Jimmy as our late-night lineup," Gaspin said.
