With rumors that Jay Leno's nightly show may be moved back to his old 11:35pm time-slot, Conan O'Brien is reportedly considering a switch of his own -- to another network.
Conan insiders tell THR that after the Leno news broke, he has been receiving offers from "several places," although his NBC contract might prohibit that.
"We've always been interested in late-night, and we’re always looking to bring great new talent to Fox," a Fox network source says. "While Conan would be a great fit for Fox, he’s still under contract with NBC, so we’ll just see how all of this plays out."
Conan's peeps have apparently said that the current Tonight Show host won't be making any decisions until after March 1st.
