   I was just in Sydney and Melbourne, Australia, for five days.  "The   
   Tonight Show" airs at 10:30 P.M. on a cable channel called The Comedy   
   Channel -- basically the equivalent to Comedy Central.  Because of the   
   time zone issue, it's "last night's" episode, but it's airing only a few   
   hours after it aired in the U.S.  (The Comedy Channel also runs "last   
   night's" Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert at 6:30 and 7:00, which is an   
   even quicker turnaround from their U.S. broadcasts.)   
      
   It's in a 45-minute slot -- "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" airs at 11:15   
   -- which is accomplished by having short (1-minute or 30-second)   
   commercial breaks.   
      
   The NBC bug and the American "TV-14" rating graphics coming out of every   
   commercial break are present.  (Its Australian rating is "M," announced   
   with a full-screen graphic and voiceover before the show.)   
      
   The Comedy Channel's promos for "The Tonight Show" are using the same   
   Conan-running-down-the-beach shots as NBC's promos -- a little surreal   
   hearing an Australian announcer over that footage.

   Jim Ellwanger    
    welcomes you daily.   
   "The days turn into nights; at night, you hear the trains."
