   I remembered to look this up, and in the listings I could find for   
   Sydney, new episodes of "Late Night" appear to premiere at 11:30 P.M.,   
   then repeat at 3:30 A.M. and 1:00 P.M. the next day.  (They're on a   
   cable channel called "The Comedy Channel" -- no relation to the   
   predecessor to Comedy Central in the U.S.)  And if you have digital   
   cable, you can also get what appears to be the West Coast feed, which   
   gives you Conan at 1:30 A.M., 5:30 A.M., and 3:00 P.M.   
      
   So, in conclusion, I have no idea what kind of weirdo TV set Johnny   
   Vance owns.   
      
   It's hard to explain why I say this, but their generic listing for the   
   show definitely sounds like it was written in the Commonwealth and not   
   the U.S.:  "Late Night with Conan O'Brien/With Special Guests:   
   Combining A list guests and the hottest bands, Conan O'Brien takes a   
   slightly off beat look at what's going on in the world today."
