Late Night Buffet with Augie and Del

In June 2006 plans were been announced for a late-night talk show called Late Night Buffet produced by The Jim Henson Company. Like most talk show, Late Night Buffet would feature celebrity guests. The twist is that the show would star puppets as the host and other supporting cast roles. Like traditional talk shows, each episode would be taped in front of a live studio audience (taping is set to occur at Henson Studios in Hollywood, CA).

The program will not feature "Muppet Show" family characters (owned by Disney), rather "Late Night Buffet" will create and focus on a new cast of puppet characters created by the Henson Company.

"Late Night Buffet" has not been listed as a "children's show" (and members of the live studio audience must be over 18). Henson hope to reach a more grown-up audience – similar to the target group of Jim Henson's Puppet Improv.

The first episode is planned to tape on July 22, 2006. The network, air dates/time, cast, crew and other details have not been released.
