Today is Saturday, do they air new shows on Saturdays? Cause your post is making me wonder.
Nope. Saturdays are reruns, except in the occasion where a station might pre-empt the show on a weekday and then delay the rest of the week by a day with the Friday episode on Saturday. KABC sometimes does that with both Jeopardy! and Wheel, especially when they air Monday Night Football.
Okay, but since Monday night football is ot going on there is no release for them to delay it. Where I am at Jeopardy airs at 3:30 and Wheel of Fortune at 6:30, but not this week, was it last week or the week before it was delayed until after midnight when it was being shown for conravirus reports.
Monday Night Football is just an example. There are a multitude of reasons a program might be delayed.
When I said "today" I was either quoting Alex from Friday night or at least saying something with the same meaning.
Well you should have used the words today, but maybe more in the lines of yesterday, which if I didn't question it who knows who would have if anybody.
It sure sounded like there was an audience, and nothing was said. But they didn't show an audience. Like "Wait! Wait!" on NPR (where they admit it and even claim the audience was recorded in a specific situation) they must have used a recording.
I can confirm that the no-audience episodes. Also, the Teachers Tournament (taped on February 24 and 25; last episodes taped with an audience) was moved to May 25-June 5 because of the GOAT reruns (it was scheduled to air on May 4-15 before the GOAT reruns were announced, so the other week with no audience is now airing on June 8-12.
I saw an audience last night on "Jeopardy".

They can edit in audience shots. It’s not that hard.
This week things seem weird. Ever since they had those dinosaur bones in the introduction I skip over that part, but I happened to see the very beginning and Alex introduced a new episode and said he hoped we were all safe. They flashed the date February 2020 when they showed the contestants. Periodically they would show on screen that it was a new episode.
It is the Teachers' Tournament, but they are finally acknowledging what's going on. One of the Clue Crew did the same thing during one of the breaks.

Wheel had been putting the original air dates in the corner of the screen for its reruns, but as of this week, they are now simply putting: "This episode was taped before the national health emergency", maybe to make it less obvious the show is not new? The reruns on Saturdays do not have any additional captions of the sort as of now.
Assuring us the episode was taped before the pandemic was something "America's Funniest Home Videos" did. Alfonso Ribeiro was giving high-fives to the audience.
Price is Right has been running a message during the closing credits each day.
Last night they showed an audience as Alex was walking in, and Johnny pointed to Alex before clapping.
