So who needs a time slot?

After being pushed out by NBC to make room for Jay Leno, what will Conan O’Brian do next?

How about a radical move of going web-only?

That’s what the New York Times Bits Blog surmises.

With the $40 million dollar settlement, I think it’s certainly a possibility. (OK, much of that money is for his show’s staff, but he still has enough so that he doesn’t have to work.) He has enough money to pursue ventures that may or may not immediately pay off. And YouTube offers revenue sharing.

And for those who say people don’t want to watch TV on a small screen. Ahem. That’s mostly old people who say that. Anybody born after the IBM PC seems to be just fine with watching YouTube clips on a 320×480 cellphone screen.

If Conan does go to a web-only format, I think that could do a lot to change the way entertainment is sent to viewers anymore.
