Conan O’Brien’s ratings have sliped so much in recent months that NBC  is reportedly looking for a replacement. The network executives have begun informal talks to find a new late night funny man for the time slot and some media outlets are reporting that Jerry Seinfeld is top of the list.

A source says, “NBC just can’t carry on like this. ‘The Tonight Show’ has lost 52 percent of its viewership in just one year. The November ratings will be the show’s lowest in 15 years. They would be idiots to not be having the replacement conversation.”

Jerry’s been living the semi-quiet life for so long now, it’s probably  going to take a big pay day to get him back on a daily show. Conan’s people deny all of this of course.
