Wolfman Jack atuou como locutor. A canção tema, uma canção folclórica tradicional chamado "Midnight Special", foi realizada por Johnny Rivers.

The Midnight Special foi anotado com atos musicais tocando ao vivo, que era único, uma vez mais aparições de televisão na época mostraram desempenho dublando a música pré-gravada. A série também ocasionalmente exibiu um vintage dos actos mais velhos (como Bill Haley & His Comets).   Sugarman proposto o programa como um caminho para a NBC para tirar partido de grande audiência The Tonight Show's. Ao mesmo tempo, nenhuma das três grandes redes de televisão tiveram de programação após a 1:00 am, como prática comum foi ao ar um padrão de teste após o sinal de saída. Apesar desta falta de concorrência, NBC, inicialmente rejeitou a idéia.  A rejeição levou Sugarman para comprar tempo de antena para a estréia no seus próprios, convencendo Chevrolet para se tornar primeiro patrocinador do programa. Ele estreou com avaliações grande o suficiente NBC que mudou de idéia e comprou o programa.

It Takes Two To Tango Minnie Riperton ..... Lovin 'You Kiss ..... Black Diamond Plus - Live Stand Up Comedy De David Steinberg e Jack Burns & Avery Schreiber! Este é verdadeiramente um DVD surpreendente ver. Para mim tem sido muito legal ver essas bandas de desempenho, enquanto apenas o começo, o que em muitos casos, acabou por ser lendária carreira. Os equipamentos Groovy e do cabelo pode ser muito divertido também! Favoritos particulares estão vendo um muito jovem Barry Manilow, muito funky, afro-folheados, Natalie Cole e, claro, vendo Aretha cantando com Ray Charles! Além disso, Kiss é bastante divertido com o uso de material pirotécnico ... E claramente, vendo Helen Reddy cantar "I Am Woman" é uma delícia:)
