  Is it strange that I thought it was Jimmy Fallon and not Jimmy Kimmel?

  Yes, that IS strange... the title of the post includes the word "comedy". I guess you overlooked that... :)

  It makes sense that in our 24 hour news cycle were people waiting for 11:30 to turn on to ABC to get the latest info for the news of the day?

  As for the comedy wars, I watch David on occasion when he has a good guest on but prefer Jay in his early years on NBC after Carson left. However, I have not watched Jay post the Conan departure from NBC since I feel once you leave you retire and exit stage right peacefully. I never cared for Kimmel. It will make things interesting who will come out on top months following this move. These days I catch Conan over at TBS when I have the time.

  I prefer Jimmy Kimmel (and Jimmy Fallon) over Leno or Letterman. But Conan is still my favorite.

  I don't see much late night TV, but if I'm going to tune in, I just wait until 12:37 a.m. and watch Craig Ferguson.
  
  Not a fan of Kimmel. I can't explain why, but I find him far more irritating than entertaining.

  If I watch any of the late night talk shows it is Letterman. And I might watch him once a year.

  Nightline was more of a "Here's a story in depth" than a headline broadcast. It's been doing quite well in the ratings lately, but the audience is older than advertisers would like.
