>>15051735Suiyoubi no Downtown airs on TBS not NTV, and it's a primetime variety show that airs at 10pm. You're talking about Gaki no Tsukai, Downtown's other show on a different tv channel. TV shows' airtime in Japan depend on the budget and the theme, regardless of the popularity of the geinins. And being late-night show and low budget doesn't mean it's unpopular, Gakitsuka is still running 3 decades in and at the same timeslot.
