The last NBC episode aired on September 9, 2022 was the final broadcast episode of Days of Our Lives. Its ending was interrupted and cut short by NBC’s live coverage of King Charles III’s first speech, which made that episode especially notable.

What happened

  • The episode was the show’s last on NBC before it moved exclusively to Peacock.
  • The closing scene was shortened because NBC switched to live breaking news coverage.
  • That date is remembered as the final time Days of Our Lives aired on NBC.

Why it mattered

The episode mattered because it marked the end of a decades-long NBC run for one of daytime TV’s most recognizable soaps. The interruption also added an unexpected real-world moment to an already historic broadcast farewell.
