‘The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon’ (2014)

Hosted by Jimmy Fallon, this long-running late-night institution features sidekick-announcer Steve Higgins and house band The Roots from Studio 6B at NBC Studios in New York. Executive produced by Lorne Michaels and produced by Broadway Video and Universal Television, the show blends a topical monologue, comedy games, celebrity interviews, and a musical or stand-up performance in each installment. It returns on Tuesday, September 23, 2025.

Originally premiering on February 17, 2014, this iteration is the seventh in the ‘Tonight Show’ franchise, with Fallon also credited as a developer alongside A. D. Miles. The series’ current production banner includes Electric Hot Dog (since 2021), and its opening theme, “Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey,” is by The Roots. Taping continues at Rockefeller Center, maintaining continuity with earlier generations of the franchise.

‘Brilliant Minds’ (2024)

This medical drama follows neurologist Dr. Oliver Wolf (Zachary Quinto), a character inspired by the case studies of Oliver Sacks, as he tackles complex neurological puzzles with a Bronx-based team. Created and written by Michael Grassi, the series returns on Tuesday, September 23, 2025, and features ensemble regulars including Tamberla Perry, Ashleigh LaThrop, Spence Moore II, and John Clarence Stewart.

Behind the scenes, ‘Brilliant Minds’ counts Michael Grassi, Greg Berlanti, Andy Serkis, DeMane Davis, Lee Toland Krieger, and others among its executive producers, with score by Joseph Trapanese. Storylines draw on Sacks’ works such as ‘The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat,’ and the show has explored character-driven twists—like a father-son arc involving a character played by Mandy Patinkin—while grounding cases in real neurological conditions.

‘Late Night with Seth Meyers’ (2014)

Seth Meyers’ nightly show originates from Studio 8G at 30 Rockefeller Plaza and is executive produced by Lorne Michaels, Seth Meyers, and Mike Shoemaker. The series mixes political satire with interviews and recurring comedy bits, and for years featured the 8G Band with Fred Armisen before a 2024 shift; the show continues with its established production team and schedule on Tuesday, September 23, 2025.

Premiering on February 24, 2014, ‘Late Night with Seth Meyers’ is produced by Broadway Video, Universal Television, and Sethmaker Shoemeyers Productions. The studio setup, taping schedule, and set design have become part of its identity, with Studio 8G sitting just above ‘The Tonight Show’ in Studio 6B—one reason the productions historically coordinated taping times to avoid sound bleed.

‘The Voice’ (2011)

The American edition of the international format, created by John de Mol, returns Tuesday, September 23, 2025, with Carson Daly as host and a rotating panel of four coaches. The competition begins with Blind Auditions and proceeds through Battles, Knockouts, Playoffs, and Live shows, with coaches mentoring artists while also competing to win the season as the victorious coach.

Executive producers have included John de Mol Jr., Mark Burnett, and Audrey Morrissey, and the franchise is based on ‘The Voice of Holland.’ Over the years, the U.S. series has featured a broad slate of coaches—among them Christina Aguilera, CeeLo Green, Adam Levine, Blake Shelton, Gwen Stefani, Alicia Keys, Kelly Clarkson, John Legend, and others—with format tweaks like Blocks, Saves, and Playoff Passes introduced across seasons.

‘Law & Order: Special Victims Unit’ (1999)

Returning Friday, September 26, 2025, this Dick Wolf–created police procedural centers on the NYPD’s Special Victims Unit, led for many seasons by Mariska Hargitay’s Olivia Benson, and has featured an ensemble including Ice-T, Christopher Meloni, Kelli Giddish, Peter Scanavino, and others. The series investigates sex-based offenses, with many episodes loosely inspired by high-profile cases.

‘SVU’ is part of the broader ‘Law & Order’ universe, with a long roster of executive producers over time and showrunner stewardship that has included Neal Baer, Warren Leight, and—more recently—David Graziano, with Michele Fazekas announced to take over for the next cycle. The series employs a single-camera setup and Mike Post’s signature theme, and continues to film and set its cases in New York.

‘Law & Order’ (1990)

Also arriving Friday, September 26, 2025, the original series in Dick Wolf’s franchise splits its hour between NYPD detectives investigating a crime and Manhattan prosecutors trying the case. Over decades and through its 2022 revival, the show’s ensemble has included Sam Waterston, Jerry Orbach, S. Epatha Merkerson, Anthony Anderson, Hugh Dancy, Camryn Manheim, Odelya Halevi, Mehcad Brooks, and more.

The current revival is showrun by Rick Eid and produced by Wolf Entertainment and Universal Television. Filmed and set in New York City, ‘Law & Order’ remains defined by its two-act structure—“law” for investigation and arrest, “order” for prosecution—with plots often echoing recent headlines while reimagining motives and outcomes for dramatic purposes.
