He&#8217;ll be on at 11pm ET\/PT, giving him a half-hour jump on Letterman and Leno.<br \/><br \/>Late night will becomes even more entangled with overlapping time periods, leaving the fall schedule looking something like this:<br \/><br \/><u>11pm:<\/u><br \/>ABC\/CBS\/NBC &#8211; <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Local News<\/span><br \/>Comedy Central &#8211; <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">The Daily Show w\/Jon Stewart<\/span><br \/>E! &#8211; <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Chelsea Lately w\/Chelsea Handler<\/span><br \/>TBS &#8211; <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Conan O&#8217;Brien<\/span><br \/><br \/><u>11:35pm<\/u><br \/>ABC &#8211; <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Nightline<\/span><br \/>CBS &#8211; <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Late Night w\/David Letterman<\/span><br \/>NBC &#8211; <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">The Tonight Show with Jay Leno<\/span><br \/>Comedy Central &#8211; <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">The Colbert Report<\/span><br \/><br \/><u>12:05am<\/u><br \/>ABC &#8211; <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Jimmy Kimmel Live<\/span><br \/>TBS &#8211; <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Lopez Tonight w\/George Lopez<\/span><br \/><br \/><u>12:35am<\/u><br \/>CBS &#8211; <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">The Late Late Show w\/Craig Ferguson<\/span><br \/>NBC &#8211; <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Late Night w\/Jimmy Fallon<\/span><br \/><br \/><u>1:35am<\/u><br \/>NBC &#8211; <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Last Call w\/Carson Daly<\/span><br \/><br \/>We&#8217;re pretty sure that&#8217;s right&#8230; check your local listings this fall to be sure.  The bottom line for Craig Ferguson is that he&#8217;ll continue to compete directly against Jimmy Fallon and indirectly with Jimmy Kimmel&#8217;s second half-hour, along with George Lopez.<br \/><br \/>Although O&#8217;Brien&#8217;s parting of the ways with NBC allows him to return to television in September, his new show will begin in November, to allow TBS to complete its contract with Major League Baseball.  It will host several games in the American League playoffs in October.  TBS wanted O&#8217;Brien to be able to start up the new show uninterrupted, according to the New York Times.<br \/><br \/>Left out of the mix on weeknights will be Fox.  Several media reports indicate that local Fox affiliate stations were more interested in running syndicated programming (and holding onto the advertising revenue they currently enjoy from such shows) during the 11pm hour than Conan, making negotiations with the network more difficult.  Fox does offer Wanda Sykes in the 11pm timeslot on Saturday nights up against NBC&#8217;s Saturday Night Live.<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The late night wars have taken a new turn.
