Hmm,
what do we do with such episodes, as far as I know three have been aired so far, till now I have not added them and no one complained :)
"New monologue, repeat segments with Alec Baldwin, Nikki & Brie Bella, Hannah Gadsby, Toots & the Maytals"
"New monologue, repeat segments with Mila Kunis, Zachary Quinto, Taylor Bennett"
cheers

I suppose we at least shouldn't credit guests, since it's archive footage.
Because there's a new monologue it sounds very similar to the "the best of auditions", "the road to the lives", etc type episode we add for talent shows where they mostly just rehash old footage with some new comments in between.
So yeah, adding them without guest credits sounds good to me.
Class them as best of specials since they aren't "real" regular episodes?
List the monologues as 15 minute specials and ignore the repeat segments?
Continue to ignore them and if someone complains, blame tnt?

Then we need someone with really good knowledge about the show, so we add them the correct way.

haha, to list them as specials would also be an option.
How does the network list them? Do they call them new episodes or repeats? These sounds like little more than repeats to me. As The Tonight Show always done this?
From what I can tell other schedule pages such as tvguide, tvpassport etc.. list them as repeats. So it'd be confusing if we list them as new episodes, imo.

It's Friday episodes, and they usually do repeats on Fridays, but it's a regular schedule day.
However it's not only new monologues. For example, on this Friday: **Friday, August 17: Episode to feature new monologue, new Thank You Notes segment and a new musical performance by Janet Jackson with Daddy Yankee. Encore guests TBA.
So I suppose we should credit any new appearances and omit encores.
Think I opened a can of worms here :)
We have to find out since when they are doing this. I only noticed it because tvdb lately lists the Friday episodes as new ones.

I don't watch Fallon so can say, but, your idea of a subject matter expert sounds good. They should have a better idea of when they started the new opening tacked onto old material routine, and is it just Fridays or off weeks too, maybe this is just a recent change and why thetvdb.com started to list them? However it's handled, I think there should be some sort of note in the summary to indicate the episode is a composite and not 100% new material.
the graham norton show does compilation episodes that we list with other normal episodes.... Similar to this, he does a different intro and then it's just clips.

that would lean towards that we do the same with Fallon!

Just because something has been done before doesn't necessarily make it right :P
