"Welcome to the Late Show. Still at 11:35," Letterman deadpanned on his show Tuesday night.
Said CBS' Craig Ferguson, "Jay's getting a little older now. So 10 p.m. is kinda 'late night' for Jay."
Leno also joked about his new show, which will air five nights a week at 10 p.m. starting in the fall of 2009
"Guys, leave those boxes. We're not going anywhere," he said, adding that reports about a possible network move "were nothing but rumors started by a disgruntled employee: me."

Leno teased that Letterman would try to one-up him with a scheduling change by having a show at 9:59 p.m.
"Just when I think I'm out, they pull me back in," Leno jokingly told reporters at a press conference Tuesday. "Originally, I wasn't going to stay with NBC. But my parents said, 'Whatever you do in life, always try to come in 4th.'"
The new show will feature Leno's opening monologue and sketches like "Headlines" and "Jaywalking." Bandleader Kevin Eubanks will also return.

gabeAll right, I think that Jay Leno has a good show on, by moving his show up to 10 PM he will get more exposure, more viewers will be watching the show and NBC will move up in the ratings. He and his writers provide the best up to date jokes that occur regarding our daily news.report abuseposted December 10, 2008 6:35 PM PST

DCCI've always liked Letterman better than Leno. Letterman is a little edgier. The riff he did on John McCain when he failed to show up for a scheduled interview was hilarious.report abuseposted December 10, 2008 5:02 PM PST

3 CatThough NOT a "senior citizen", I used to watch Leno now and then guest-hosting for Carson, but he never captured my interest after taking over the show. I doubt I've watched more than two hours of his entire tenure. At 10PM, though, the competition is usually less interesting, so I may watch occasionally. Maybe it will be a bit more in the vein of a traditional prime treport abuseposted December 10, 2008 3:14 PM PST
