"Not true," his rep tells Us Weekly. "He has a scheduled hiatus the week of Jan. 25."

The swift denial came hours after People magazine reported that O'Brien's final show would air on Jan. 22.

On Tuesday, O'Brien slammed NBC's plan to move the Tonight Show back a half hour to accommodate Jay Leno's return to late night.

HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Conan O'Brien took the gloves off Wednesday night in his battle against NBC and Jay Leno specifically.

O'Brien, who has slammed NBC's plan to move his Tonight Show back a half hour to accommodate Leno's return to late night, took aim at his fellow network counterpart during his monologue Wednesday night.

"Hosting the Tonight Show has been the fulfillment of a lifelong dream for me," O'Brien told the studio audience. "I just want to say to the kids out there watching: You can do anything you want in life. Unless Jay Leno wants to do it too."

The 46-year-old host also continued his bashing of NBC by referencing the network that is likely his biggest suitor.

HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Conan O'Brien's fate has come down to an abbreviated game of Deal or No Deal.

On Tuesday's Tonight Show, the embattled talk-show host was joined by Howie Mandel, who presented O'Brien with several options as he weighs NBC's proposed late-night shuffle.

"This is exciting. This is a huge move for me," O'Brien said as he prepared to make his decision. "I can't believe it's come down to this ... this makes about as much sense as anything else these days."

Presented with six cases that held his next career move inside, O'Brien opted for No. 6. As the model holding the case walked forward, Mandel joked, "I don't know who that is. Apparently NBC fired the real models."
