These are the late night schedules for the four United States broadcast networks that offer programming during this time period, from September 1993 to August 1994. All times are Eastern or Pacific. Affiliates will fill non-network schedule with local, syndicated, or paid programming. Affiliates also have the option to preempt or delay network programming at their discretion.
In September 1993, Conan O'Brien made his debut as the late-night talk show host replacing David Letterman on NBC, in the time slot immediately following The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. On February 28, 1994, Greg Kinnear took over as host of the NBC weeknight show Later, which had previously been hosted by Bob Costas.
