Jimmy Fallon and his team are doing a great job of building multipurpose video content, which is designed with many uses in mind.
They then use social media to share with their fans.
It gets people who don't stay up late enough to watch the show, to see the best bits.
Also, the videos that they post are short, so you don't have to commit a lot of time to watching.
YouTube
