TOO LATE

Conan O'Brien, on wanting the "Tonight" show and the circumstances under which he might leave the Peacock, in the Sunday Times:

If NBC said, 'Listen, Conan, Jamie Kennedy is going to do the 'Tonight' show and we really want you to continue at 12:30.' Or 'Carrot Top is going to get the 'Tonight' show'; well, I'd be out the door. No offense to Carrot Top.

O'Brien could be two years or less from jumping ship at NBC to take an 11:30 offer from Fox, ABC or even -- if Dave retires -- CBS. Also worth noting, he obliquely badmouths Kilborn and Kimmel.

Still also -- oh, that Carrot Top. If he's good for anything, if he has any purpose at all, it's taking abuse.
