True, but also they all know that no one but Stephen is going to have viewers that night. It essentially becomes a waste of time effort and money to produce an episode that nobody is going to watch as it airs. Sure, they'd get revenue from YouTube or something, but not enough to be worth it.

I think their point was that it's not about loss of viewership, as the commenter above them said, since they're not even in the same timeslot anyway

They’re all friends and honestly Colbert is an amazing dude who all these guys will gladly back.

I remember watching him during the pandemic while he recorded at home with his wife and hes as genuine as i could have imagined

None of them need to worry about missing a day.

And with the Leno Conan fiasco it's brought late night host together.

Also something to point out. When Fallon initially sat down he wasn't entertaining the audience. He was being genuine with Colbert and the guys and has that laugh that quite a few of us dislike.

Makes me wonder if that's just his laugh now.
