Late Night
horizontal line

After a placating television producer (Denis O'Hare) hires a smart, feisty, outspoken chemical plant quality control specialist (Mindy Kaling), who lives with her aunt and uncle in Queens, as a token diversity hire to write for the legendary, acerbic, complacent, shallow, coldhearted, fire-happy late night talk show host (Emma Thompson), who is married to a Parkinson's-afflicted, retired professor (John Lithgow), in this funny, satirical, entertaining, poignant, star-dotted (Seth Meyers, Bill Maher, Annaleigh Ashford, and Halston Sage), 102-minute comedy, the greenhorn newbie tries to fit in and revitalize the testosterone-heavy writing staff (Hugh Dancy, Reid Scott, Max Casella, Paul Walter Hauser, John Early, et. al) and they band together to reignite a fire in the show and its host when the network president (Amy Ryan) decides to hire a crass, standup comedian (Ike Barinholtz) as the new host.
