The show relies on [[Kathy Griffin]]'s stand-up in the first part of the program. are a panel of "civilians" (random people, , or friends) the week. . Maggie gives her opinions on topics and the night's events in a segment called "Maggie Tucks Us In".

In season 2, the set of the show was re-decorated. It was revealed that the studio of the show, Studio 58, used to be the studio of ''[[The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson]]'' before it moved to Studio 56. Also, the panelists consist mostly of celebrities rather than "civilians". The segment "Maggie Tucks Us In" has been cut; however, Maggie Griffin, along with Rinehart is still seated in the audience each episode and Kathy would occasionally chat with them.
