Ntropolis 593 Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 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. http://www.wncn.com/story/24782419/wncn-to-be-part-of-late-night-tradition-during-seth-meyers-premiere?utm_content=buffer82e7a&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook.com&utm_campaign=buffer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Action Newsroom 1151 Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 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.

MidwestTV 1174 Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnya2k6 171 Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRolyPoly 1847 Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 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.

mrschimpf 2065 Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrschimpf 2065 Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 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.
