The show is advertised as airing "weeknights at 12:35am." Since the show airs after 12am, for the purposes of air dates, episodes actually air from Tuesday to Saturday.

According to the show's official website, It airs Monday to Thursday (S10 E1 09/19/22). all the dates are wrong

As indicated above, September 19 night at 12:35am, we are already September 20

Apps like Series Guide which use TMDB as source, using the exact date pushes the countdown by 23 hours. A "monday show" which technically airs 35 minutes after monday appears as airing on Wednesday at 1235AM. It's also a "monday to thursday" show as opposed to "tuesday to friday" show.

We aren't responsible of the bugs in third party API.

This case is clearly explain in our rules with the example of the anime.

Sorry, but I have to bring this up again. Your new Air Dates are completely inconsistent with EVERY other source on the internet including the website of the show itself as you can easily check here: https://www.nbc.com/late-night-with-seth-meyers

The guests are mentioned together with explicit air dates.

This show airs from Monday to Thursday night. Your new air dates are even inconsistent with your own data prior to June 2022 and after February 17 2023.

Other reputable sources include IMDB and TheTVDB.

Edit: And yes. You are technically correct that a Late Night Show airing 12:35 Monday night could be seen as the show airing on early Tuesday morning. But as you can check with every single other source on the planet... nobody does see it that way. ;)

Edit2: You did not get the example provided to you by barneygumble742. The convention is that shows airing after midnight and before ~5 in the morning are usually considered as having the official air date the day before. See IMDB, TheTVDB, official website etc. So apps like Series Guide and many others take this air date + the time slot and then simply add 24 hours to it in case the time slot is between midnight and 5 in the morning. This way the episode shows up at the correct date and time in the app. What happens with your new "unconventional" air dates is that apps following this convention now show the episode a day late in the program guide.

So in conclusion: The bug is not in their App. The bug is in your data that is inconsistent with everything else out there. There is no reason to change something that is not broken. Just keep the traditional air date as it always has been. Maybe this doesn't matter for Anime shows that are usually referenced by their episode code. But for daily shows that are commonly referenced by their air-dates this causes a lot of trouble and manual work!

Each site has its own set of rules. Comparing different sites is of no use.

I invite you to read again our rules linked above.

I have fixed this week airdates.

I don't have the time now to fix the old dates that were recently wrongly changed by another user (and by you for a few of them).

For information, there is currently in development an evolution of the site to be able to add the release time. .

I agree that you have the right to go against all conventions established long before this site ever existed. I just don't think anyone benefits from all the inconsistencies you are creating for absolutely no reason. I just hope with the next iteration of your database you will join the rest of the planet again in this matter. Until such time I will have to get my data for daily shows from a more conventional source.

Sorry to dredge this up again, but I have to agree with everything SeriousJosh said wholeheartedly.

I understand why you find it important to have clear rules, and why you want to follow them strictly. But in this case, it makes no sense whatsoever. As SeriousJosh said, literally every single other site on the internet including the official source use the correct date. Sticking with the wrong date just to stick with the rules is nothing but malicious compliance. It makes the site unsuable for me as well, unfortunately.
