A PROFESSIONAL LATE NIGHT TALK SHOW
designed FOR YOUR EVENT

Jeff Houghton’s Late Nite Live is a fully customized late night talk show made for you, made with you, and made with years of experience—to bring a night they’ll be talking about for years.

You can accomplish the same messaging for your event, but made entertaining. Gone are speeches from the leadership team, replaced by interviews showing their personalities. Gone are boring things your people watch, replaced by interactive comedy that gets them up on their feet.

All while honoring the tone of the event and the people that appear on stage.

Jeff Houghton got his start with the Late Show with David Letterman, before winning 4 Emmy awards while hosting his own late night talk show, The Mystery Hour with Jeff Houghton, for 10 seasons on various FOX, ABC & NBC affiliates across the country. Now he wants to transform your event into a meaningful and hilarious good time. In addition to TV, Jeff travels the country hosting and performing comedy for corporate events, and heads up the Writers’ Room Creative Comedy Agency. In the end, it all adds up to a personalized night to remember.

what they’re saying:

how does this work & why:

  • RECOGNIZABLE FORMAT
    You and all the people at your event know late night talk show formatting—comedy, interviews, music—making it easy to follow.

  • ENGAGING MESSAGING
    The interview guests are often those in leadership—allowing their messaging to come across—as well as their personality and fun side.

  • COMEDY CREATING SHARED EXPERIENCES
    The interactive comedy is most often an improv game, a Minute to Win It style game, or a game show game. This creates a shared experience for the room, by getting people up on the stage in front of their friends and coworkers.

  • ‘COMMERCIAL BREAKS’ FOR ENTERTAINMENT AND/OR SPONSORSHIP
    The commercial breaks are made up of videos we’ve made for The Mystery Hour that we know are home runs, videos for your company/event, or videos from sponsors you’ve gotten for the event—increasing the entertainment value and/or growing sponsorship opportunities.

  • CUSTOM VIDEOS
    Depending on the scope of the show, we may make a custom video just for the event. This could be a man-on-the-street style video, a ‘soap opera’, or any other short form content that will wow the room.

  • FORMATTING PROVIDES MORE SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES
    A late night talk show is made up of many segments and stage pieces, providing sponsorship opportunities for you. We’ve had clients have a presenting sponsor, stage sponsor, set sponsor, furniture sponsor, as well as sponsors for each segment.

  • INCORPORATING A LIVE AUCTION
    As far as fundraisers, many include a live auction. We think it could be a great idea to include an auctioneer during a ‘commercial break.’ They could auction 1-2 items during each break. It’s an opportunity to split up the auction as those can run long and lose energy, while maintaining the flow of the show.
