Now that writers can work again, here’s when daytime and late-night talk shows will return

John Oliver, left, and Stephen Colbert in February. The resolution of the Writers Guild of America strike, which officially ended at midnight Wednesday, means NBC’s “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” and “Late Night With Seth Meyers,” CBS’ “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert” and ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” — as well as HBO’s “Last Week Tonight With John Oliver” — are heading back into production next week and will be among the first entertainment programs back on the air since the work stoppage began. On Wednesday morning, Kimmel, Colbert, Fallon, Meyers and Oliver — who launched a podcast called “Strike Force Five” to raise money for out-of-work crew members during the labor dispute — said they would return to TV beginning Sunday, when a new episode of “Last Week Tonight” will air on HBO. Their need may border on addiction, as the four network hosts and HBO’s Oliver teamed up for the 12-episode Spotify podcast “Strike Force Five,” which afforded them opportunity to riff. “I think the pain for the hosts has been that when somebody does something extraordinarily stupid, they’re forced to bite their tongues and sit on it,” said Daniel Kellison, a former executive producer of “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” “Everyone’s going to be very eager to be back.” The backlash during the WGA strike to Barrymore and others who tried to return to work before there was a resolution means all of the returning shows will have to be cautious that they respect SAG-AFTRA members if they are not back to work soon.
