Night Editor is a 15-minute anthology television series aired on the DuMont Television Network from March 14 to September 8, 1954. Hal Burdick wrote and narrated the episodes and sometimes acted out the stories. Ward Byron was the producer, and Dick Sandwick was the director. In December 1952, the series was syndicated by Harry Goodman Productions Incorporated, with 26 15-minute episodes available. Mickey Baron directed, and Burdick again wrote the scripts. Kaiser-Frazer sponsored the show in five markets.

The Complete Directory to Prime Time Network and Cable TV Shows described Night Editor as "one of many attempts by DuMont to devise low-cost TV programming" and went on to cite the use of one actor and one set.[4] Burdick changed his voice to differentiate characters, and the stories themselves provided variety as they ranged "across many periods and subjects".

The program was initially broadcast on Sundays from 10:45 to 11 p.m. Eastern Time. In July 1954, it moved to Wednesdays from 10:30 to 10:45 p.m. Eastern Time.
