''The Not-Too-Late Show with Elmo'' is a spin-off of ''Series/SesameStreet'' developed exclusively for the Creator/HBOMax streaming service. The series, consisting of 13 episodes, debuted on the platform on May 27, 2020. The first three episodes were available at launch, with new episodes premiering weekly afterwards. Each episode runs 15 minutes long. The show is as follows:

* BigEater: Naturally, Cookie Monster is still this. In the Jonas Brothers episode, the "light snack" he ordered is a sandwich so big that Biff and Sully, who are '''''construction workers''''', have to bring it in. In the Blake Lively episode, he mentions having a MarshmallowDream which resulted in the disappearance of not only his pillow but his bed and various other things that were in the same room.

"Elmo has a new favorite game: he’s hosting a talk show, right from his living room. With Cookie Monster as a sidekick, other Sesame Street pals as backstage crew, and even a House Band, Elmo welcomes real-life performers to his couch to entertain kids and families with music, games, and fun for all ages. Jimmy Fallon stops by to show Elmo the hosting ropes, Lil Nas X shares a catchy song, John Mulaney gets competitive in a tricycle race, and much more—all before Elmo’s bedtime!"
