The majority of TV shows are taking the week off. Even late night TV shows are seeing a break in the regular schedule due to Thanksgiving at the end of the week. However, The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon is not going to take the expected days off.
The Late Show with Stephen Colbert will air reruns all week, while Jimmy Kimmel Live! will air new episodes to start the week, but will then air reruns from Wednesday, Nov. 26 for the rest of the week. The Tonight Show is doing things a little differently.
The week will start off with a rerun, and then the show will go into new episodes for almost the rest of the week. As of the time writing this, Friday, Nov. 28’s schedule hasn’t been set.
Monday, November 24
This is a rerun of the Nov. 16, 2025 episode. Rosalía and DJ Khaled took to the set with Jimmy Fallon, with Rosalía also performing for the night.
Of course, if this isn’t the episode that you want to watch, then you can always check out other episodes on Peacock.
Tuesday, November 25
Tim Allen will join Fallon on the couch to talk about the second season of his ABC comedy Shifting Gears. The series follows a widower who owns a classic car restoration garage, who takes in his estranged daughter and his two grandchildren when his daughter leaves their father and returns home.
Lili Reinhart will also make an appearance on the series, with the comedian Dusty Slay also chatting with the host.
Wednesday, November 26
Denis Leary and Zoey Deutch are the celebrity guests for Thanksgiving Eve. Leary will want to chat about the second season of Going Dutch, which is set to premiere on FOX in January 2026. Deutch has had a few movies out this year, but NBC hasn’t made it clear what she’ll be chatting about during the episode.
There is a musical guest for entertainment on Thanksgiving Eve. AVTT/PTTN will take to the stage to perform.
Thursday, November 27
Yes, there is set to be a new episode on Thanksgiving. However, it’s worth noting that this is at the later time of 12:05 a.m., so it’s technically on Friday, Nov. 28. Brad Paisley will be the musical guest, which isn’t all that surprising considering he has a new Christmas album out.
Ed Sheeran, Joe Keery, and Philip Barantini will appear on the episode. There’s sure to be plenty of shenanigans during this episode.
As mentioned, there isn’t a schedule for Friday, Nov. 28 just yet, but there is an episode that will air. This could be a rerun, but we’ll keep an eye on the schedule.
The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon airs weeknights at 11:35 p.m. ET/PT on NBC.
