Channel 5's late-night is Brit-centric reality shows. I don't see them being imported. The Brit chat shows (Graham Norton, Jonathan Ross, whoever else) are all once-a-week.
Network Ten's late-night is Colbert and a repeat of "The Project," their 6:30 p.m. panel current affairs show. The "tonight" shows (as they're called over there) that were the linchpins of the schedule have been gone ever since Rove McManus ended his show. But perhaps CBS could air "The Project" and force the hosts to offer explanations of Aussie-centric issues for the American viewers. (For the record, Australian TV's biggest ratings are now in the dinner hour, where the commercial nets basically offer their flagship newscasts and game shows "The Chase" and "Millionaire Hot Seat", with Seven running the long-running soap "Home and Away" in that block, Nine running the original tabloid mag "A Current Affair" and Ten "The Project.")
