That reminds me of a Red Sox game in the sixties that ran into many
extra innings. In those days, commercials were on their own tapes, or
something like that, and the TV crew had packed away all but two of
the commercials, thinking the game would be over soon. They showed
those two commercials over and over. I'll never forget the
carnivorous "Walla Walla" plant, though I don't remember what it was
advertising.

In the UK, Channel 5 for many years showed games live over night.  It was
fronted in London by an American ex pat and an Englishman.  One year a
playoff game went to extra innings.  It finished about seven in the
morning in the UK.  (My recording stopped long before the end.)  The
Englishman was due to front a quiz show in Bristol that lunchtime.  He'd
long missed his train, but somehow he got there and did the show.
