Team "Watching Through the Static" picks Later with Bob Costas in the talk show category.
Not the standard late talk show, it was Bob and a guest; no studio audience, no house band, ans lots of interesting questions.

Several years ago, during an interview on the late-night NBC program Later, she revealed that she can remember what she did on any given date in the past. The host, Bob Costas chose to ask about July 20, 1969, the night of the first moon landing. Henner was briefly dumbstruck before revealing that she had lost her virginity that night in the shower, to which Costas replied, "At least we know Neil Armstrong wasn't the culprit."
