It’s hard out here for a ginge.

Word out on the street this morning that the Peacock Network is seriously thinking of giving Conan O’Brien the pink slip and handing the reins of the Tonight Show over to their golden boy, Jerry Seinfeld.

Ratings for the Tonight Show have slipped 52%since the NBCmade the bone-headed move to give Leno his own talkshow during the 10pm weeknight spot, replacing him with O’Brien.

The ratings for that have been dismal as well to say the least, but the high foreheads, determined not to admit they screwed up or blame Leno, now seem to be looking for a scapegoat to slaughter.

Conan’s people are denying this is what NBC is planning, but with losing more than half the audience since the change in hosts, the suits must be looking at their various options. 

More on this as it develops…
