Late Night with Seth Meyers to feature local station mugs every night

[Ntropolis 600]

Upon suggestion from WNCN's marketing director, Robby Thomas, Seth's desk will feature a coffee mug from a different NBC affiliate on each show. The Raleigh affiliate will be the first when "Late Night" premieres Monday.

The station's Marketing Director Robby Thomas says that Jimmy Fallon's band The Roots starts off each show by "shouting out an area code". That is certainly not true.

We all know that Questlove shouts out the number of each episode, as proven by the ones shown the past few nights.

dude that's actually pretty cool! I'm going to take this literally though and assume that he will have a mug every NBC affiliate in the country at some point or another.

What's the over-under on the WNWO mug showing up? (Had to ask lol)

[Big Country News 435]

I'll have a laugh when KIEM shows up.

Or WXIA (which has traditionally been #2 in late night in Atlanta behind WSB), though I'm thinking KTUU will be the only Alaskan contribution.

I've started a tumblr to keep track of what station's mugs get on LNSM. You can check it out by clicking the picture in my sig.

I am sorry to bump up this thread BIG TIME.

 

But I've noticed that The Late Show with Stephen Colbert has started to steal this tradition. If you look very closely behind Stephen's desk, there's like a little section where you can see their mugs and on one of them, you can see an affiliate's mug on there?

 

I've noticed this some time ago, but just noticed it again tonight during a repeat of LSSC and it showed WOWK 13's mug for a very brief second.

That seems to be a little more limited...I do know his home market's CBS affiliate WLTX from Columbia, SC is always in that case (he's mainly from Charleston though; maybe it's aesthetics that WCSC's "Godzilla Live 5" isn't in there and WLTX is instead ). Not sure about other affiliates though, as my eye is always drawn towards the "19" more than any other mug in that case.

yeah pretty soon all the O&Os probably because at one point when Regis took over the late late show as a temporary host before James Corden they used the CBS evening News Credits at the end with the affiliate name at the end. i think it was also used in the CBS Evening News itself. but i think there's still alot of CBS affiliates out there that still show their Station ID for bugs like ABC, NBC and FOX does.

Regrettably, no. I missed a few episodes in late 2014 and was unable to catch back up.

As expected, WRAL's mug was on the desk tonight; not a huge surprise considering it seems like 30 Rock got a whole box of WRAL mugs for today to throw on their air every chance they got.
