OverviewEdit

Host Dave Attell goes through a particular city at night, usually close to midnight beginning with his performance at a local comedy club, then going to various bars, clubs, and city landmarks. Along the way Attell cracks jokes with passersby and takes pictures with a disposable camera which would be shown during the end credits. Every episode concludes with the sun rising into the next morning and Attell saying his catchphrase "Get some sleep!"

Episodes include a visit to Chicago's world-famous The Wieners Circle, where the staff routinely got in cursing matches with their customers<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> and a visit to a Phoenix nudist camp.
