Craig maybe it went from The Comedy Channel (Weekends only) to Bio then on to Arena, I could be totally confused here (wish I had an old Austar Guide prior to July floating around to see).

I am even start to think Letterman was on W at some point

Anyway makes no real difference I guess, still would not be surprised if Leno turned up on Bio, unless one of teh Free To Airs has the rights (then again it could be the same as TEN’s arrangement and show Ten eps 2 days later).

Why don’t we have a local nightly show like these, could Rove do 5 nights a week?

@Johnny – could be but I’m sure he was on Arena for some time, maybe just the weekends?

Chances are +7 will use this in a 10.30pm slot every night…

@ Craig.

I do not remember Letterman being on Arena, I remember him being on the Comedy Channel Saturday and Sunday nights only, then moving to the Bio Channel for the last few years until now on the Comedy Channel … unless the weekend only shows were on Arena and I have got that mixed up … definitely was on the Bio Channel for the last few years though (was 11:30pm Mon-Fri).

@ Andrew

Yeah like I said I do the same with Craig Ferguson and would love too see more on TV here, pity TEN do not pick it up actually and run it after Letterman, seeing that is how it is seen in the States, his interviews are great fun and the Celebs have a ball as well (Hugh Laurie dated 5/5/2008 and Kristen Bell dated 4/18/2008 are good examples).

Seven should put it on against the ever-awful Letterman.

But as others have said, Craig Ferguson is the best talk show host, goddamn Ten.

Wait… Kimmel on comedy… awesome! I have never seen a whole show but I do really like kimmel, and clips I see are generally good.

Leno show, put it on another channel. the way letterman used to be on arena.

I have to say Leno has been criticised a lot over the years. From softball questions, ripping off bits. The interview of David Duchovny after his sex addiction edited to just the questions showed how lame an interviewer he was.

The new show Jay has stepped it up. While I actually would love him to host a US version of top gear, having a segment on his new show of guests racing cars around a track and being ranked…. please who are they fooling? Some people may not get Jay walking was a rip off, but that is just so blatant they should be embarrassed.

I hope channel 7 or nine pick it up and put it on at 10.30pm nightly.

That’s very disappointing – I much prefer him to Letterman and Conan and used to watch him every day on Comedy.

I agree with the The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson suggestion, he is so quick witted and funny! It’s a shame I can only see the eps on youtube

News out of the U.S. suggests a week of Letterman repeats beat Conan’s Tonight Show in overall viewers. Conan’s winning the >55 demographic. Which is what they wanted I guess.

Sad for Conan though. He wouldn’t want to be the one who drops the Tonight Show’s #1 baton.

Jay Leno is pathetic. If he didn’t go on air and beg to not be fired, right now he’d be at home with his barren wife, and somebody funny might get a chance to try something new.

The only thing worth watching on his new show will be little Jimmy Norton.
