"Late Night" aired weeknights at 12:37 am Eastern/11:37 pm Central and 12:37 am Mountain in the United States. From 1993 until 2000, Andy Richter served as O'Brien's sidekick; following his departure, O'Brien was the show's sole featured performer.

"Late Night with Conan O'Brien" also did not air in Houston from 1994 to 1996; KPRC opted to air reruns of "The Jenny Jones Show" in its place. "Late Night" returned to KPRC in 1996, although it was subjected to delayed scheduling in later years to air various programs such as "Ricki Lake" at 11:35 p.m., followed by "Access Hollywood", a repeat of the 10 p.m. newscast and "Jenny Jones", which delayed "Late Night" to 2:40 a.m. This fact was not lost on O'Brien, who visited Houston (including visits at the main Houston Bus Terminal and the Astrodome) to watch an episode of his own show with Houstonians in a classic remote piece; KPRC's mail servers were flooded with emails in response. KPRC moved the show to 12:35 a.m. in 1998, and finally to its network-recommended (for the Central Time Zone) 11:35 p.m. slot in 2005, where "Late Night", now hosted by Seth Meyers, continues to air; however, the station still delays "Last Call with Carson Daly" until 2:05, showing infomercials in the show's standard network timeslot of 12:35 a.m.
