Conan O'Brien: Leave NBC!

It looks like Leno's moving to an earlier timeslot after the failure of his prime-time television show. Most people predicted this to happen, and Leno supposedly claimed if it failed he would leave prime-time. However NBC's other shows aren't doing as well, Conan nor Fallon can compete with Letterman or Ferguson. May'be it's due to the lack of guests? So NBC has practically given Conan O'Brien the ultimate ultimatum either he stays on the network at 12-1 time slot or he has to leave his show. Now personally I think the whole idea of moving Conan to begin with was quite stupid as he found a niche on his Late Night talk show. So now he's at the mercy of NBC, and if I'm Conan I'd probably jump fence and go to another television station. Most preferably ABC. Why? Dave and Craig occupy most of CBS's schedule, as Leno and Fallon will probably occupt the other timeslots, now ABC on the other-hand only has Kimmel and Conan could take the 12:05 to 1:05 time slot prior to Kimmel and be in direct competition with Leno and Letterman? Perhaps. He wouldn't attract as much an audience as his competitors but it would be enough to let me finally be free from the shackles of NBC' watering him down for an earlier time slot. Or better yet he can take an even more creative route and join Comedy Central. He's already pretty shown that he is good pals with Stewart and Colbert, and as I recall during the writer's strike "Conan, Stewart and Colbert" kind of became the three amigos of the Writer's strike good television. So how perfect would it be if Conan takes the time slot following Stewart and Colbert, Stawart is on fromy1-11:30 and Colbert 11:30-12? Conan could be on between 12 to 1? He already has proven himself popular with 18-34 year olds, and Comedy Central feasts on that crowd. I think those are probably his two best options, unless he'd want to be on CBS after Craig? It'd probably be in his best interest to jump ship to ABC or Comedy Central.
