The Tonight Show will scale back to four new episodes a week, with Jimmy Fallon joining his fellow late-night hosts by airing repeats on Fridays. However, after 60 years of five-nights-a-week episodes, The Tonight Show will now move to Mondays to Thursdays only, with Friday night reserved for repeat episodes, Variety reports, citing recent cost-cutting moves in the cord-cutting era by NBC that has so far included subtracting Seth Meyers’ house band and eliminating a late-night program in the 1:35am slot entirely. (CBS, similarly, replaced James Corden’s late-night program with the game show After Midnight.)
