Any value in expanding TDS to 60 minutes? I suspect the staff works plenty hard as it is, but if CC is stuck on having an hour of news satire (which doesn't strike me as a given), I'd think they would consider it.

TDS & Colbert work as a unit because the two shows, despite differing styles of satirizing the news, follow a similar vein. Installing a sketch show into the 11:30 spot eliminates any possibility of topical humor that can tie into what TDS covered at the top of the hour, and will almost certainly result in viewers tuning out to Jimmy or Colbert. (Of course, it's entirely likely the Colbert Nation will follow him anyway.) Similarly, you can't just install @midnight at 11:30; aside from the obvious naming issue (@eleventhirty?), I don't think it's a strong enough show to hold viewers. My vote would be for Sam Bee or John Hodgman to take 11:30. Or maybe something with Bee and Jason Jones, doing a play on Fox & Friends or the other morning pundits-on-parade shows? -- -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
