Late-Night Shows

Late-night shows are television programs that air during the late evening or overnight hours, typically following the prime-time television slot. These shows are primarily entertainment-oriented and often feature a blend of guest interviews, comedy sketches, musical performances, and monologues that comment on current events, popular culture, and societal trends. The format usually includes a host who engages with a mix of celebrity guests and audience participation. Late-night shows have become a cultural staple, often reflecting and shaping public discourse through humor and satire, and they serve as a platform for celebrities to promote their work. Popular examples include “The Tonight Show,” “Late Night with Seth Meyers,” and “The Late Show.”
