Before each video, there would be an introduction to the video, followed by the Night logo displayed with the year the video was made on the bottom. During intermissions and commercials, flashbacks would be shown that would feature memorable characters on the DPS channel, usually from stock footage and image campaigns the channel had. The names and the year when they became big would also appear.

Final moments
After the Jungle Forest Show episode "Return of the Data Crew" concluded, along with a short commercial break, a final 60-second clip montage would air featuring many of the channel's previous stars, ending with this statement:"'For 8 years, you've brought us into your homes. We've made you smile and laugh and tugged at your heart. And now, we say goodbye. From all of us at Darren Pipster Studios, thank you.'"The final image will show a white silhouette of DPS's mascot fursona, Pipster Cat, waving goodbye while the words "Thank you." are shown on the screen, thanking the subscribers for watching the channel for the past 8 years. As the image faded out, DPS would officially leave the airwaves.

The clip montage would officially cease the channel's operations, as the studio credits for The Jungle Forest Show are shown afterwards instead of the split screen credits, which were used on the other videos shown during the night.

Later that evening, the DP Central YT channel will show a montage of all logos used throughout the years leading up to the introduction of the "DP Central" logo before the start of its first livestream.

Themes and marketing
Major themes for the special will include "Faces you'll always remember", "Character names you'll never forget", "The faces that touched our hearts", "DPS says goodbye", "A YouTube channel that defined 'radically diverting' says farewell." and "Join us one last time". The music playing in all the flashbacks and other promos for the event will be "Crawl" by Thisway.
