Jimmy Fallon is going dark on Stephen Colbert’s last day as a late-night host.

Instead of producing a new episode, NBC will air a rerun of “The Tonight Show” on May 21, which marks the final episode of Colber’s “Late Show” following its cancellation by CBS last year. Fallon joins Jimmy Kimmel in the show of late-night solidarity, as ABC confirmed on Monday that “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” would be bowing out to give “The Late Show” its largest possible audience on its last night.
