Late Night in the Studio (titled on-screen as CBC Late Night in the Studio) is a Canadian comedy anthology web series produced for the CBC Gem streaming service.[1]
The series is presented as a retrospective look at (non-existent) CBC Television programs of the past. Each episode runs 9 to 13 minutes, and is introduced by Nobu Adilman, who portrays the head archivist of the CBC.
The Globe and Mail's television critic John Doyle said the series was "highly recommended; satire as strange as what we need right now".[1]
