From the people who brought you Open Run, it's...STEFAN'S NIGHTTIME! Host Stefan Marolachakis and Executive Producer Jesse Williams bring you a new late-night talk show filmed on location at Ray's Bar on the Lower East Side. For this series premiere, Jesse joins Stefan for a few drinks as they talk about the good old days of temping together, Jesse's recent Broadway run, and how he went from a would-be civil rights lawyer to a Tony-nominated actor. Then they're joined by photographer Daniel Arnold for a talk about hacking it in New York, how he captures those impossible images of his, and all the things that scare them half to death but they choose to do anyway. Come for the conversation, stay for the theme song singalong! "You're not alone...in the Nighttime." • Watch Stefan's Nighttime on YouTube • Follow Nighttime on Instagram at @nighttimenyc • Subscribe to Nighttime's YouTube channel by clicking here
