Overview

The holiday night out you’ve been waiting for!

This holiday season, Constellation takes the late-night talk show from your screen to our stage for The ConstelLate Show. Running throughout the holidays with brand-new guests each night, this festive evening brings together local luminaries, performers, and personalities. Each episode features interviews, games, music, comedy, surprise talents, and a few unexpected twists. Complete with cameras and live monitors, audiences won’t just watch the show—they’ll feel like they’re part of the broadcast. It’s joyful, it’s unpredictable, and it’s the most Constellation way imaginable to celebrate the season.
