Late Knight is a late – night style, live comedy show put on by Mast TV under Student Media at Pacific Lutheran University. It is live streamed directly to YouTube and hosts a live studio audience in The Cave. We are one of the few all student-run television stations in the state of Washington.

We provide connections between students and the greater PLU community in an ethical, sustainable, and diverse way, while showcasing entertainment, news, and campus events.

We teach television broadcast in a hands-on, professional, and educational manner. We will provide students with necessary and competitive skills to prepare them for lives of leadership, teamwork, and media literacy. Late Knight has brought students together in an event where they can relax and have a laugh. The goal has always been simple: To create a positive experience for the viewers. Late Knight has the potential to grow into something great as long as students, staff and faculty stay invested.
Late Knight was created by Sam Ellefson (class of 2019) during his first year at PLU in 2015. The idea started with wanting to create something that held aspects of The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon and Saturday Night Live. Late Knights first episode aired November 18, 2015 and was followed by two more episodes that year, the second one having internationally known acapella group, The Filharmonic, as the musical guest.

Late Knight continued to grow from 2015 on and has been Emmy nominated, received 2nd place in the ACP/CMA Pinnacle Award for Viral video, and has received the Social Program of the Year award from PLU Clubs and Organizations.
