One NBC affiliate, KPRC-TV in Houston, dropped Late Night with Conan O'Brien in September 1994 due to low ratings and was replaced with first-run episodes of The Jenny Jones Show. KPRC reinstated O'Brien's Late Night in the fall of 1996, but scheduled it to air as late as 2:40 a.m. while the station, in addition to The Jenny Jones Show, had aired Extra, Access Hollywood, Ricki Lake, Montel Williams, Inside Edition and a rebroadcast of its 10:00 p.m. newscast between Leno and O'Brien. Houston became the subject of a skit (via classic remote piece) in which O'Brien made impromptu stops at Houston's central bus terminal and the Astrodome to watch an episode of his own show with Houstonians in 1997. KPRC began airing Late Night with Conan O'Brien directly following The Tonight Show with Jay Leno in 2004.
