Several late-night talk shows are preparing to return to the airwaves. Notably, "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert," "Jimmy Kimmel Live!," "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon," and "Late Night with Seth Meyers" are among the first shows expected to resume production.
The development came following a tentative agreement reached between the Writers Guild of America (WGA) and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) on a new labor deal.
These programs have been on hiatus since May when the writers went on strike, making them one of the initial casualties of the labor action within the television industry.
Once the strike is officially over and the new agreement is ratified, these late-night shows are poised to return, providing time for the writers to return to work and the production crews to restart operations.
While "The Late Show," "Jimmy Kimmel Live!," "The Tonight Show," and "Late Night" will feature their respective hosts upon return, "The Daily Show" faces a unique situation.
At the onset of the strike, the Comedy Central series had rotating guest hosts due to Trevor Noah's absence.
