Concept
editThe concept of the show includes the classic elements of a late-night talk show such as stand-up, interviews with celebrity guests and a musical appearance. There are also recurring segments and a studio band with different names but actually the band named Gloria and is led by Mark Tavassol.[1] The Florida TV author and producer Jakob Lundt appears as a sidekick.[2]

editAt the beginning of an episode Heufer-Umlauf performed a traditional stand-up monologue, before changing to a seated. After that one of various recurring segments appears, followed by the first of the episode's guests, which usually include celebrities and actors, literary figures, people in fashion, artists, athletes, and politicians. The guest may return after a second recurring segments and at the episode's end followed by a musical guest.
