I feel like I almost always see the slots referred to as "11:35" and "12:35", including most of the stories around the time that Leno left the first time and Conan took over (e.g. "Leno went to 10:00 and Conan took over 11:35"). I think the Comedy Central thing is different. NBC and CBS clearly schedule their late night shows to start at 11:35. It is not like how NBC a few years ago had some popular shows go over a minute to intrude into the DVR time slot of the next scheduled program. This isn't them playing around, or cheating a few minutes, or being sloppy, it is what they intend, and every television listing posts it that way. -- -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
