OT, but as a non-native English speaker, what would you say in a greeting like that if it was, say, 1:00 AM?

What would you say, "Good _____"?

Doesn't "Good night" come with a strong connotation of leaving and going to sleep? (Or expecting the other side to do so?)

(I'm from Czech Republic and we just don't have such term.)

You are correct. Good night means that whatever you've been doing is over. The media is bending over backwards trying to appear "fair", but it just results in moments like this.

It's the tan suit scandal all over again.
