The most reliable way to find upcoming guests is through the NBCUniversal Media Village press release portal:
- Saturday Night Live on Media Village
- Late Night with Seth Meyers on Media Village
- The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon on Media Village
As a backup, the episode table on the Wikipedia entry for the respective show's season can be used.
- Saturday Night Live (Season 47)
- List of Late Night with Seth Meyers episodes (2021)
- List of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon episodes (2021)

To avoid favoring one provider over another (e.g. Amazon vs anything else, Apple Music vs Spotify), links are best commercially neutral. The preferred links for common mediums are:
| Medium | Link Provider | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Books | https://www.goodreads.com | https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/53487334-the-best-of-me |
| Music | https://en.wikipedia.org | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crash_(Charli_XCX_album) |
| Movies, TV Shows | https://www.imdb.com | https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3526078/ |
Dates are stored in ISO-8601 format in Eastern time (UTC−5). The commonly used formats for each program are:
- Saturday Night Live:
YYYYMMDDT233500-05:00 - Late Night with Seth Meyers:
YYYYMMDDT235900-05:00 - The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon:
YYYYMMDDT233500-05:00
Since Late Night airs after midnight but the shows are listed as the previous day, use 23:59 (approximately 35 minutes before the airtime) as the Late Night date.
The morning after an episode airs, at 9AM eastern, the episode is removed from the JSON. I don't know how to do that
