Talk show guests by show, Nov. 2–6

*The Meyers row is from NBC’s Late Night page, read Tuesday evening, Nov. 3, which LateNighter and Interbridge match; TVmaze still shows older Wednesday and Friday guests. **Watch What Happens Live and Live with Kelly and Mark rows are TVmaze alone for names; Live’s own site still showed the Oct. 26 week. The Tonight Show row is from NBC’s page, which matches both lineup sites; Kimmel’s Monday and Tuesday lines are from ABC and the other nights from the two lineup sites; The View row is from the show’s own schedule, re-read Tuesday evening, Nov. 3. “TBA” means no guest was posted as of Saturday, Oct. 31. The table leaves out two daytime hosts who have their own weekly pages: Tamron Hall and The Jennifer Hudson Show.

Which guests are on more than one show?

We lined up the official schedules and the lineup sites against each other, and six names appear twice. Kim Kardashian is on The View on Thursday and Late Night on Friday, and Jessica Chastain is on The View on Wednesday and Watch What Happens Live on Thursday.

What time is each show on?

All times are Eastern. Clocks in the U.S. went back on Sunday, Nov. 1, so this is the first full week on standard time, and a local station can start a network show later than the East Coast does when news or sports run long. Year-round start times for every show sit on the late-night schedule and daytime schedule pages.

How do you watch all of this without cable?

Each network streams its own late-night show the next day, and the cord-cutting guide lists which app carries which one.
