These are the late night schedules for the four United States broadcast networks that offer programming during this time period, from September 1994 to August 1995. All times are Eastern or Pacific. Affiliates will fill non-network schedule with local, syndicated, or paid programming. Affiliates also have the option to preempt or delay network programming at their discretion.
As of January 1995, industry observers were predicting that The Tonight Show with Jay Leno on NBC might overtake the Late Show with David Letterman on CBS by the end of the year, noting that Leno had started to make gains in the ratings.
