After last week’s election-night preemptions, late night settles back into a more familiar rhythm this week—with one scheduling wrinkle at NBC. Jimmy Fallon got an early start with a special Sunday night Tonight Show, so his regular week will consist of three new episodes Monday through Wednesday before a Thursday repeat.
Elsewhere, Kimmel and Seth Meyers are new, Byron Allen’s two CBS shows are back with first-run episodes in their first half hours, and Saturday Night Live welcomes John Mulaney and Phoebe Bridgers.
Here’s who’s on and off the week of November 9, 2026:
