As TMZ first reported, after the Olympics, Jay Leno will get his 11:30 PM time period back. We're told network execs have told Conan they will let him decide if he wants the midnight to 1:00 AM time slot. If he does, Leno's show will only be a half hour. If Conan walks, Leno will get a full hour, informed sources tell TMZ.

Our sources say Conan has not decided what he wants. We do know he's ****ed, because he was given no advanced warning this was coming. Conan's people told NBC they are considering the offer. Translation: Mr. O'Brien -- I have Rupert Murdoch on line one, Stephen McPherson on line two, John Landgraf on line three, Jeff Wachtel on line four ...

We're told if Conan gets another offer, even though NBC could block the move, they will let him go and give Leno the full hour.

Stay tuned ...

Wow they really screwed him over. He finally got the Tonight Show after all those years only to see Leno on the air before him again and now he is getting kicked to 12-1? Sad thing is that I have watched some of the Leno shows and wasn't too impressed.

Conan sucks big time on The Tonite Show! ~ Ratings are down big time on that show, let's face it Jay Leno was a shoo in for the show, because people were used to him filling in for Johnny Carson, Jay Leno learned from the master JC, Leno's show sucks because it's in a bad time slot and has to be different than The Tonite Show.

Conan was a good replacement or Letterman and he should go back to his old show, latohugh I don't know how that's doing with Jimmy Fallon.

NBC is a ****ty network, too many bozo's on the top corporate ladder.

I like them both... I think no matter what happens it'll all work out fine, personally. Leno getting 30 minutes would be fine with me, as his show already feels stretched out. Conan going to another network would be fine too, cause he'll still get his show.

The guy who should be fired was the moron that bumped leno out when he had the highest ratings in the shows history. I personally would prefer conn at the later time. His show was much more 'adult' then. He made a lot better jokes and did better bits. He's been rather tame on at 11:30. However, Leno leading into Conan was a good thing they had before. Now they break for news which loses many viewers.

Conan is just rubbish, sometimes there is some humor, but the rest of the time its just crap! furguson is better , but he's on ABC.....or something

Seriously? Shows how much variation there is in what people find humor in. I can sit through a whole furguson show and not even crack a smile.

Conan also has bad ratings due to Leno though, remember that. Because of Leno's poor ratings, the 11 News suffers more and they lose more viewers and they then become an even poorer lead in for Conan's show. NBC just screwed up bigtime this go round. They should have just offered Conan a nice contract back in 2004 instead of promising him the Tonight Show since Leno is still very popular (though not in prime time lol).

I have a feeling Conan will probably want to stick with the Tonight Show unless it's a really bad situation over there which I don't think it is. NBC would probably keep him rather than see him on another network taking even more viewers away.

Of course, you can still store your diagrams in folders that are synchronised to your cloud storage if you wish. Easy-to-use diagram editor The draw.io apps work just like the office and drawing tools you are used to using. Drag and drop shapes from the shape libraries and drag to draw connectors between them. Drag connectors to add waypoints and set a precise shape and position, or let them reroute automatically. Double click and start typing to add a label to anything. Create tables and swimlane flows with a familiar tool. Style shapes and connectors with customisable palettes, sketch options, fonts and text formatting tools.
