Late-Night Shows Return After Writers Strike

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Late-night talk shows are returning after a five-month absence brought on by the Hollywood writers strike. John Oliver returned to his “Last Week Tonight” with a full-throated endorsement of the strik and its successful outcome. As shows like “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert” and “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” will return to the air Monday, actors will resume talks that could end their own strike. Colbert will have Astrophysicist and author Neil deGrasse Tyson on his first show back. Kimmel will host Arnold Schwarzenegger. Jimmy Kimmel will greet Matthew McConaughey to “The Tonight Show.” The writers last week struck a deal with an alliance of Hollywood’s biggest studios, streaming services and production companies.
