If you don’t have cable, DIRECTV is your best bet at streaming the performer’s interview. The streamer allows users to watch live TV channels. All of DIRECTV‘s packages include access to NBC as part of their base lineup, though we’d suggest the CHOICE package above them all.
This package is currently available for a discounted price of $84.99 for the first month, down from $94.99, and is ideal for those looking to tap into a slew of fan-favorite channels, around 125+, such as ESPN, Animal Planet, BET, Bravo, Cartoon Network, Food Network, Comedy Central and the Hallmark Channel, along with your popular channels including CNN and Fox. If you’re unsure about committing to a new subscription, you can try the service out for free for five days, which will let you watch Rodrigo on the late-night talk show without spending a dime.
Hulu + Live TV
You can also watch Rodrigo’s interview via Hulu + Live TV, given that NBC is included in the live TV channel lineup. The service also offers a three-day free trial to new users. A subscription to the service (with ads) will cost $89.99 per month, while the plan without ads goes for $99.99 per month. Both plans give you access to watch Rodrigo’s interview without cable.
Peacock
All episodes of The Tonight Show stream online on Peacock the day after they air on TV. The platform offers affordable plans starting at just $10.99 per month, or an annual plan for $109.99 per year (which gets you 12 months of streaming for the price of 10).
