THE NOT-TOO-LATE SHOW WITH ELMO focuses on teaching children about nighttime routines, getting ready for bed, and going to sleep at night. At the start of each segment, 3-year-old Elmo asks his parents for permission to be excused and host his show.

He participates in discussions and activities with celebrity guests. These happenings are often centered on evening activities. Elmo and his friends talk about bedtime stories, weird dreams and enjoy learning about nocturnal ani-mals. The show concludes with famous musical guests who perform lullabies or songs from SESAME STREET.

Elmo always treats the guests to gifts, which have ranged from toothbrushes to homemade clay horses. Once Elmo has brushed his teeth and snuggled into his pajamas, he winds down with a final musical number that recalls all the fun he’s had that evening. He signs off, reminding young viewers, “Elmo loves you. You are special. Good night.”
