When is Late Night typically taped?

• A. Friday at 6pm
• B. Monday - Thursday at 8pm
• C. Monday - Thursday at 4pm
• D. Saturday at 2pm

Answer: (C)

Late-night shows follow a daytime taping pattern because they air late at night. Filming in the afternoon on weekdays gives the production team time for rehearsals, guest arrivals, wardrobe, and editing, while still delivering a fresh show for the late-night time slot. The weekday window—Monday through Thursday around 4:00 pm—is standard, since it keeps weekends and Friday travel or special schedules out of the loop and avoids pushing taping too late into the evening. So, the best fit is Monday through Thursday at 4 pm.
