The Pack Theater is home to many crazy, wonderful comedy happenings, one of which is an ever-changing monthly late night talk show, Your Late Night Show Tonight, featuring a different host every month. Per the host’s whims, they kind of do whatever they want whether that be hosting a hippie version of a late night talk show or fictionalizing a world where they’re hosting from a bunker after the apocalypse.

This month, they have the amazing Hal Rudnick, who we hope you would know from The Midnight Show and Screen Junkies, as host and given Rudnick’s track record of going above and beyond with his wild bits and characters, we can’t wait to see what he and his staff (including writers Cheyenne Perez, Vanessa Gritton, Connie Shin, Dempson Juvenal, and Tim McGovern and producers Gil Baron, Ben Kuerschner, and Erik Wargo) come up with.

Oh yeah, off-the-beaten-path sports expert Sal Masekela and the brilliant DeMorge Brown (probably as his one of his amazing character creations) will be featured as guests.

As always at The Pack Theater, the show is Pay what you can, but you can reserve tickets and get more info here.

(via Deadline)

TBS seems to be doing well to have open arms for ex-Daily Show correspondents.

Potentially, Rob Riggle could be joining Jason Jones and Samantha Bee on TBS with his very own show that would take the sports angle in a weekly late night talk show.

Also, as another welcome change of pace, the show would take place in Las Vegas, which should provide a fun backdrop for plenty of remote segments.

There’s potential here as there is currently only one other show to really figure out the balance of late night, sports, and comedy: Garbage Time with Katie Nolan.

MTV Trying a Late Night Talk Show Again with “Middle of the Night Show”

College Humor’s Big Breakfast is developing MTV’s latest late night talk show that will trade a sound stage and audience for a bedroom.

The Middle of the Night Show makes its twist on the late night talk show format by getting rid of desk, couches, sound stage, audience, etc. and, instead, goes to the bedroom of guests while they are sleeping and waking them up to have them host a show from their home.

It seems like some sort of cross between this Rihanna prank on Jimmy Kimmel and The Late Late Show episode where Corden did an entire episode in someone’s house and Matt Oswalt’s Pre Dawn Show.

College Humor’s Brian Murphy will co-host as they’re trying to catch celebrities in the middle of their REM cycles and need someone to guide the show along.

Supposedly, the celebrity host that will be woken up to do the show will have no prior warning as to exactly when the crew will come in. If that’s true, we’d imagine that there would be a few episodes where the crew and Brian will set off an alarm.
