It's probably now decided in post, but in the old live-to-tape days, they had a physical credit roll in the studio and it was whenever the a.d. decided they had the extra minute or so to roll it.
The syndicated G-T shows ("What's My Line?", "Beat the Clock", etc.) ran full credits every day.

That's probably because some stations only ran one show a week. During the six months or so in 74 when they ran BTC, KABC had five shows that aired at 7:30pm weeknights, BTC was one of them.
