The template is for "Current late night shows in the United States" (previously "Current late night talk/news satire/comedy shows in the United States", but that is too specific since not all late-night shows are talk/news satire/comedy). But now there is another problem: what shows should we put in
682:
Should Nightline be included on this list? It could be considered talk and it goes on at 11:30? What about Sportscenter? There is a new live version of that at 11. I would really consider both of these shows as news, but since there isn't any other template they'd fit into, I was wondering if people
973:
The template hasn't been updated in over a month precisely because late-night shows "do not debut and end that frequently." But the template is nevertheless regularly updated, as regularly as shows premiere/end, and not likely to be outdated. Thus, the word "current" is accurate and in my view
958:, like the current events portal. This is not updated on a frequent basis as shows do not debut and end that frequently. This template hadn't been edited in a month before I came to remove the word "current". Please respect the Manual of Style and undo your reversion. – 1172:
I would guess that the template was intended to cover only talk/comedy programs, which is generally what is meant by "late-night TV" (as opposed to TV that just happens to air late at night). Maybe moving the page could make that clearer; I would suggest

I believe it should stay, since I don't see any difference between President Show and The Colbert Report. He does satirical topical comedy segments in character, including remote segments, and interviews a guest at the end of each episode. --

I'd personally remove the news since it's rather redundant and not all late-night comedy shows revolve around the news, or at least I don't always associate them with it. The main focus should be late-night comedy
785:
Is it not best to first create a page of the show, before adding it to the template? The current link redirects to his own page and has very little info about the show. Also, the late night template isn't added
1323: 1154:
But the template's name is "Late night television in the United States", it does not imply that it excludes non-talk/comedy/news satire shows. This is why I started this discussion in the first place.
1087:
The only problem is that there isn't much consensus on what counts as a late-night show (10pm shows are also listed in the list) and also the table might become bloated. I'd love to hear your inputs.

I added the TV One late night programs recently but I seem to have also made the shows in the Upcoming section not appear even though they're still in the editing section. How can they reappear?
654:
Agreed. Leno is not a late night show; it is a primetime show. All press material and promos describe the show as primetime - even the house band is titled "the primetime band". This is not a "

Perhaps this discussion on what shows to include can also be breached out to the list since there's not really a guideline for that list, thus why shows like
1333: 1328: 982:. However, I would support using "as of ..." here and on the other TV templates you modified recently, if you would insist that's more appropriate. -- 234: 1338: 1038: 1343: 325: 114: 1348: 1353: 1015: 1174: 205: 169: 757:
Yes, I reckon that the previous title is much more fitting and inclusive. Also, not sure why we needed to change 'Network' to 'Broadcast'. --

were included. (To be fair, when that show was added, it was still airing at 11 p.m. ET, and I was the one who updated the airing time.)
557: 316: 280: 739: 703: 515:
When Leno has his show at 10pm (this July), which is generally accepted Prime Time, should that program be included in this template?
217: 54: 662:
Well now that it's official that Leno will move after the olympics should we waiot untill it debuts on Late Night or put it on now

should probably be added; Nightline is more of a newsmagazine, while SportsCenter is pretty much straight news.
