Overview

• Special editions are scheduled for Sept. 21, Oct. 26, Nov. 16 and Dec. 7, airing after local news following Sunday Night Football.
• Two of the lead-ins feature the Kansas City Chiefs, with other games including Packers–Steelers and Lions–Eagles.
• The Sept. 21 show lists Matthew McConaughey and Eric Church as guests, with additional lineups to be announced.
• NBC will also air a regular episode after the NFL Kickoff game on Sept. 4, returning the show to five nights in those weeks.
• Executives say the aim is to capture SNF’s audience, which averaged about 21.6 million viewers last season, building on a post-SNF episode that delivered Fallon’s best ratings last year and alongside NBC’s contracts with Fallon and Seth Meyers through 2028.
