Notes
- ^ Strong's final episode was on December 17, 2022

- ^ Yeah Yeah Yeahs were originally booked as this episode’s musical guest, but had to cancel the week prior due to guitarist Nick Zinner’s hospitalization for pneumonia.[34]
- next season's premiere episode, on October 14, 2023.[47]
- ^ Foo Fighters performed as the musical guest on October 28, 2023, the third episode of the next season.[50]
