As a long-time fan of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, I must admit that this change has left me feeling a bit like a kid who’s just been told they can only open one present on Christmas morning. However, after reflecting on Jimmy’s busy schedule and the shifting trends in late-night television, I understand why NBC made this decision.
Jimmy Fallon’s show on NBC, “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” is changing its schedule and will no longer air five nights a week as originally planned. Instead, it will only broadcast original episodes from Monday to Thursday. This has left fans curious about what will happen with the Friday slots in the near future.
In this post, we’ll discuss the latest changes in The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon’s airing schedule and the adjustments made to its weekly episodes.
Why did NBC reduce The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon’s weekly episodes?
According to Variety, NBC is reducing the number of weekly episodes for The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon because they’ve had to make budget cuts.
In today’s digital entertainment landscape, it appears that people are shifting away from regular viewing of late-night talk shows on NBC and similar networks such as CBS and ABC. Consequently, NBC has chosen to adapt its popular talk shows to this changing trend.
Shows like CBS’ The Late Show hosted by Stephen Colbert, ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live, NBC’s Late Night with Seth Meyers, and Comedy Central’s The Daily Show have already switched to a four-episodes-per-week format. Now, The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon has joined them in this schedule change.
What will air on Fridays instead of The Tonight Show?
According to a confirmation from Variety, Fridays will now feature re-runs of the show instead.
Jimmy Fallon was the only late-night talk show host who continued to broadcast new episodes every weekday (Monday through Friday). Most other major late-night shows had switched to a different format, but during busy periods, even Fallon filmed two episodes on Thursdays for airing one at a time. Apart from his duties at NBC, Fallon has been keeping himself occupied with various projects. He plans to release a holiday album soon and is also the writer of a children’s book.
