Jimmy Fallon’s “Tonight Show” will be shortened to 4 nights a week

The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon receives a schedule adjustment.

The NBC talk show hosted by Fallon, 49, will no longer air new episodes five nights a week, as Weekly entertainmentInstead, repeats will be broadcast on Fridays and new episodes will be broadcast Monday through Thursday.

People turned to The Tonight Show for a comment.

This programming change is nothing unusual in the late-night world, as other talk shows have already switched to this program.

ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live! has aired four new episodes per week – and Kimmel is also taking a break in the summer. CBS classic Late Show with Stephen Colbert also broadcasts four new episodes each week, along with NBC's Late Night with Seth Meyers and Comedy Central's The daily show.

The Hollywood Reporter cites changing viewer habits as the reason for changes in the programming and budgets of late-night shows.

The comedian took over the talk show from Jay Leno in 2014. Fallon previously hosted Late Night with Jimmy Fallon from 2009 to 2014.

“For nearly 30 years, I have made millions of people laugh and enchanted audiences on the stages of 30 Rock,” he said in a statement at the time.

“It was a privilege to lead theThe Tonight Showand I'm excited to see what innovations I and the incredible team will bring to the network in the years to come. No, I'm not changing my quote. Tell Mark to change his,” he said, echoing the sentiments of NBC Universal's Mark Lazarus.

When Fallon isn't filming new episodes, he spends time with his kids.

Fallon, father of daughters Winnie (11) and Frances (9), spoke to PEOPLE in August about his children returning to school. “I don't want [them] to go to school,” Fallon joked. “I don't want them to meet other people. I don't want them to do anything. I just want them to hang out with us for the rest of their lives.”

He then said that Winnie and Frances “love their school and their friends.” “And it's another little chapter in their lives and another fun adventure.”

The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon airs weekdays at 11:35 p.m. ET on NBC.
