Is Fox still courting Conan or does the network have the host nearly locked down for a future late night program? According to reports, he's been presented with the outline of a deal for a show on Fox, but no official offer has been made. This is according to the Hollywood Reporter, who note the talks aren't exclusive, and allegedly "O'Brien has been pitched about two dozen ideas for his next TV gig, including five or six legitimate enough for consideration." Meanwhile, TMZ reports that Fox execs have been in touch with several affiliates, "applying pressure" to put Conan on the air during the 11 o'clock hour.
