My guesses:

At 12:35, Ferguson can get away with talking only to those people whom he wants 
to talk to.  With more attention at the 11:35 spot, I would expect there to be 
pressure for Ferguson to talk to whomever CBS thinks he should talk to.  The 
more interesting guests will likely disappear as a result.

Now that isn't exactly what Dave is asking here, but it does seem to be a 
possible force for change to the show.  What about Craig will frighten the 
(older) 11:35 viewer away?  Perhaps non-joke monologues and the most sexual 
innuendo in late night.

For that matter, why the notion that what plays at 12:35 will frighten
the horses at 11:35? I'm not Ferguson's biggest fan, but what is there
about his show (other than the cheapness) that wouldn't work an hour
earlier. A half-hour of puppets and skits? How is that different from
NBC's plans for the Leno/Conan hour?
