Carson, Conan, and Letterman post clips. It's harder to post full episodes due to issues like music rights. Not just musical performances but also some of the music the band will play. That's why sometimes you'll see random fadeouts in the clips they already upload.

Antenna TV plays full Carson episodes, but often replace music and musical acts.

I assume those musical acts are removed so they can air more commericals. Antenna TV is notorious for excessively long commercial blocks.

I watch those sometimes. The musical acts by guests are usually totally edited out.

I also own a few different Carson mega-sets on DVD. The music is usually intact there (leading to higher costs), but there are also cheaper releases with few discs (1 to 3) with the same music edits as the TV airings on Antenna.
