Late-night television is back. Less than a day after the Writers Guild of America called off their 147-day strike following a deal with studios and streaming services, all five of the major late-night hosts – Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel, Seth Meyers and John Oliver – set their return dates for early October.
The four network hosts will return to air on Monday 2 October, while Oliver will precede them by an evening, as HBO’s Last Week Tonight settles into its normal Sunday night slot on 1 October. Comedy Central’s The Daily Show, which has cycled through a roster of guest hosts since Trevor Noah’s departure last December, will return on Monday, 16 October with another slate of guest hosts.
