(via Deadline)

When people were concocting various strategies that Comedy Central to fill in The Colbert Report when Stephen Colbert was first announced to be David Letterman’s replacement at The Late Show, some entertained the idea of “@midnight with Chris Hardwick” going up to 11:30PM.

However, the name of the show would prohibit from that ever be serious schedule change… or so we thought.

From Jan. 5th to Jan. 19th, the two weeks that lead up to the premiere of The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore, Comedy Central has indeed decided to move up “@midnight” to 11:30PM.

We’re sure Hardwick and company are going to have a bunch of fun in a quasi-time rift for a fortnight.

For the last several weeks, many of all of our favorite late night programming has taken their summer vacations and we’ve all been left with reruns at 1 in the morning.

Now that Summer’s over, it’s all back to work for all of us, which includes brand new episodes of Letterman, Kimmel, Fallon, Conan, Meyers, The Daily Show, “@midnight”, Colbert, and Ferguson (that’s Craig Ferguson mind you, not Ferguson, MO).

For tonight, you should especially watch Stephen Colbert and Amy Sedaris on Late Night with Seth Meyers (NBC 12:35AM) and Brett Gelman and Brooks Wheelan on Conan (TBS 11PM)
