JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE
ABC, 11:35 p.m. ET
NEW TIME: This time shift is only a half hour from Kimmel’s former midnight slot, but for him, and for ABC, it’s a step in the right direction. It replaces Nightline, which hasn’t been as valuable since Ted Koppel left, and pits Kimmel directly against NBC’s Jay Leno and CBS’s David Letterman. Another round of the late-night talk-show war begins – but notice, this time, how much less notice it’s getting.
