I almost thought Colbert would make up for not producing Labor Day with a Friday episode... Jon's note notwithstanding. B Tom Wolper, to David Bruggeman, Steve Timko, PGage, and Kevin M, Sept 7th, in part: Kimmel was new last night because Monday’s show was a rerun. -- You received this m

Colbert was a repeat last night.  I remember that Late Show did air five nights a week for a little bit after the strikes were over, but I believe they have been consistently four nights a week for most, if not all, of 2024. My recollection is that Kimmel has usually been dark on Fridays.  The h

If any of the late night hosts had as commanding a lead in the time slot as Carson when he negotiated his contract from five days to four (then to three with guest hosts), that’s one thing. But they don’t, so for any of them to take a day off is just sad. Fallon should be grateful to be working at

Two questions: 1. The Variety story says Fallon is joining Kimmel and Colbert with 4 nights/week; other stories I have seen seem to be saying Kimmel and Colbert were only doing Friday reruns for the summer. Which is correct? 2. NBC recently signed an extension for Fallon; should we assume that was

Johnny Carson could get away with it. The 12:35 shows could get away with it. I don’t believe Fallon gets away with this. https://variety.com/2024/tv/news/tonight-show-jimmy-fallon-four-nights-per-week-nbc-1236135343/?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR1tT5E8Zo22JwuNwgiS97xdTXoICXlPUhTDgLwA7cOJ8ngVKwRvwkH
