That's what DVRs are for. My wife and I watch Kimmel, Colbert, Seth Meyers and the Daily Show as a playback the following evening.

Based on?
I thought it was odd that I've never seen you and vchimpanzee together in the same place...
Ah, thanks for that. I'm one of those monologue-and-musical-guest-only YouTube viewers, so I've never seen his signoff -- or watched a complete show, for that matter.
The other big Murdoch paper is taking a critical eye on Perry Sook this morning (paywall):
I only learned of these via social media at the time, and I never make it to anyone's signoff.
It's usually Colbert's monologue and I'll stick around if he's doing the "Meanwhile" segment and if the guest is someone I'm interested in.
For Seth, it's monologue-A Closer Look or one of the other end of segment one regular bits (In My Day, Surprise Inspection, Jokes Seth Can't Tell, Amber Says "What"?, Ya Burnt or Day Drinking with Seth). If I care about the guest, I'll stick around.
The Daily Show is almost always only segment one, though if it's Jon Stewart on Monday, and the guest is interesting, I'll stay.
Now that I'm back to watching Kimmel, it'll be essentially the same, although the moment he goes out onto Hollywood Boulevard to show me how dumb the average person is, I can't hit the channel button quick enough.
With a start time of 11:35pm PT, I imagine 'on demand' next day viewing is how most on the west coast watch these shows.
Do you really record and watch all 4 of these shows everyday? I don't find them that interesting, or funny. Except for The Daily Show. Late night TV, for me, hasn't been destination viewing, or must see TV since Letterman on NBC.
While it got a lot harder, I am not calling it a dead letter. In theory Carr and Cruz can still agree to relax some regulations that still make it possible (the 39% cap is the only real question) but Cruz may still be mad at Carr on principle alone. Deservedly so.
The real X factor is litigation at the state level to block the merger—or delay it past the imposed deadline before Nexstar is forced to pay a big breakup fee to Tegna. Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont is not happy with Nexstar's conduct preventing Kimmel from airing on WTNH (something WTNH has been forced to report on) but the state is likely to sue because the Tegna-Nexstar merger would outright extinguish the newsroom of either WTNH or WTIC-TV. AGs in California and Colorado are definitely likely to sue as the same threat of shuttered newsrooms directly impact their state capitols (Sacramento and Denver, respectively). Disney, Comcast and Fox Corp. may even sue alongside, or concurrent with, Newsmax and OANN based on the same principles of opposing the elimination of competition, undermining the network-affilate model, and monopolist power.
Whilst this fiasco was absolutely done to curry favor between Nexstar, Sinclair and the FCC, it also emboldened the opposition.
They start at 11:35 ET, too...so I'd expect the east coast would do the same.
Right now, yes. Recording is set-it-and-forget it and playback isn't that big a deal. Unless there's a guest we want to see, it's about 11 minutes for each show, so if they're all on (I'd say half of the time, at least one show is on hiatus and nobody does Friday shows), it's 45-ish minutes total, or less than the length of one of their shows.
Our evening TV routine basically is to start with Kimmel/Colbert/Seth/Daily Show (in that order---leading off with Rachel Maddow on Mondays) then any current show we happen to be watching (right now, it's Only Murders in the Building on Hulu and The Morning Show on Apple TV+) followed by a classic show (we're re-watching The West Wing currently). It's a little over two hours if everyone is on, and that's plenty of TV for us for one night.
Different strokes. My wife and I are both writers and theater kids. Some of the jokes land, some don't and we can have fun mentally deconstructing it all. In fact, the thing I love about Seth is that he does that in real time. He'll critique the joke, interact with Wally the cue card guy.
BTW what do you not like about Jimmy Fallon?
Strictly my opinion: Tries too hard, laughs too loud, not a great interviewer.
I think his music-oriented bits are inspired:
And I will forever love the Brian Williams rap bits, which were after Jimmy's move to "Tonight":
Brian Williams Addresses His Rapping -- Part 2
I had no idea NBC still has cue card guys.
Yeah. NBC is very old-school. Wally, in fact, does both Seth and SNL. Seth explained off-air with the audience recently:
Here's a quick clip of the interaction...this is from eight months ago:
Morningstar, a leading investment advisory firm, posits that Disney is far better placed to weather economic fallout from the Kimmel dispute compared to Nexstar and Sinclair. It’s written in an Axios-like style. Pull quote:
We suspect Nexstar and Sinclair’s desire to build goodwill with the federal government, ideological preferences, and appeasement of some consumers in the markets they serve play a role in the decision, but a healthy partnership with Disney is critical to these no-moat firms.
(“moat” refers to a company’s insulation from adverse economic factors. Morningstar considers Disney to have a wide economic moat with Sinclair and Nexstar having no economic moat)

(“moat” refers to a company’s insulation from adverse economic factors. Morningstar considers Disney to have a wide economic moat with Sinclair and Nexstar having no economic moat)
Colorado AG Phil Weiser has already said he’s “looking into” the merger proposal. Story from August 22 (I may have quoted it at that time, too)….
Colorado Democrats condemn sale of 9News’ parent company to owner of Fox31
Proponents of the sale argue that former competition rules for TV broadcasting are outdated. Opponents predict layoffs and a threat to independent local news.

"Principles" don't seem to take priority over politics for that particular individual. Remember, the candidate he ran against and now supports said horrible things about his wife and father. I'm sure Cruz will get on board with the agenda as history would suggest.
Here's a link to NBC News report. Sinclair cites its "obligations" to ABC:
Sinclair and Nexstar are putting Jimmy Kimmel's late-night show back on the air
The two local television giants pulled "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" last week amid criticism of the host's comments about the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

The show returns to Sinclair stations tonight. The Friday night show is usually a repeat, and tonight's show is the Tuesday night return show.
