As a seasoned cinephile who has witnessed the evolution of late-night television over the past few decades, I must say that these recent shifts in the industry are both intriguing and somewhat melancholic. The reduction of original episodes for the iconic “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” signals a change in the landscape of late-night programming, one that seems to be driven by audience behavior and economic considerations.
As a devoted movie enthusiast, I’m sharing the news that one of my favorite late-night shows, airing original content five nights a week, is making a significant adjustment to its schedule. They’re taking a 24-hour break from their usual broadcast.
NBC is increasing the broadcast of “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” to four days a week, following a trend among late-night shows to strengthen their financial standing as viewers shift towards non-linear TV viewing. Similar to its competitors, “Tonight” will show reruns on Fridays.
These television shows, including “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” (CBS), “Jimmy Kimmel Live” (ABC), “Late Night with Seth Meyers” (NBC), and “The Daily Show” (Comedy Central), are currently airing four original episodes each week.
Over the past few months, NBC has been assessing expenses related to late-night programming. Earlier this year, they made the decision to discontinue the live band during Jimmy Fallon’s 12:35 a.m. show, which took effect more recently. Interestingly, other networks have experimented with similar cost-cutting measures in recent times as well.
NBC no longer produces programming for the 1:30 a.m. timeslot that was previously occupied by hosts like Bob Costas and Carson Daly. Comedy Central has abandoned efforts to create a show similar to “Daily” that can air after 11:30 p.m., with Jon Stewart currently hosting the program just once a week, while Desi Lydic and Jordan Klepper take over other days. ABC has even allowed Kimmel to take extended vacations during the summer.
