UP LATE THIS WEEK

My trusty nightly companions.

Quite often, I find it hard to sleep. When that happens, I turn on the TV and flip over to one of the network talk shows (but NHL hockey takes priority, of course). I tend to favour the New York broadcasts, but I'll watch one of the other shows if they have a good guest.

Here are my picks with help from The Late Night TV Page:
