The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon is getting a schedule adjustment.

The NBC talk show hosted by Fallon, 49, will no longer air new episodes five nights a week, as per Entertainment Weekly. Instead, they will air repeats on Fridays with new episodes on Mondays through Thursdays.

PEOPLE reached out to The Tonight Show for comment.

This programming shake-up isn't unheard of in the late-night world as other talk shows have already shifted to this schedule.

ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live!  has been airing four new episodes per week — and Kimmel also takes summers off. CBS staple Late Show with Stephen Colbert also airs four new episodes each week, along with NBC's Late Night with Seth Meyers and Comedy Central's The Daily Show.

When Fallon isn't making new episodes, he's spending time with his kids.

Fallon, who is father to daughters Winnie, 11, and Frances, 9, spoke to PEOPLE in August about his kids going back to school. “I don't want [them] to go to school,” Fallon joked. “I don't want them to meet other people. I don't want them to do anything. I just want them to hang out with us for the rest of their life.”

He then said that Winnie and Frances "love their school" and their friends. “And it's another little chapter in their lives and another fun adventure.”

The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon airs weeknights at 11:35 p.m. ET on NBC.
