ABC announced in August that after a decade at midnight it was moving Kimmel to 11:35 PM . The ABC talk show hit solid highs last year with a debut visit from First Lady Michelle Obama in October and a first-time appearance by Kimmel’s hero Letterman on Halloween. At the end of October, Kimmel’s broadcast from Brooklyn during Hurricane Sandy ended up being the second-most-watched week in the show’s history.
