Jaded late night talk show host Chet Seletto is miserable. His guests are banal and uninteresting, his material constantly falls flat, and his ratings are decreasing rapidly. To top it off, Chet learns he’s about to be forcibly retired, paving the way for his brand new sidekick to take over. With his tenth anniversary special approaching quickly, he realises he only has one chance to revitalise his dying career. But his disillusioned crew can only do so much before Chet’s charismatic mask begins to crack, live on air.

Featuring zany ‘celebrity’ guests, a live band and a multi-camera feed displayed above the stage, “The Late Night Late Show: Live!” is a hilarious exploration of behind-the-scenes tensions, media exploitation, and how we transform when the cameras switch on.
