It’s been a strange year for late-night and things are only going to get weirder.
All of the late-night shows were dark between May and October as as a result of the writers strike (please, don’t ask John Oliver whether he enjoyed his time off) and the genre lost one of its longer-running shows as The Late Late Show, which has run for over 5,000 episodes since 1995, is to be replaced by an old Comedy Central game show.
The change hasn’t been quite as significant as last year when James Corden and Trevor Noah revealed they’d be stepping down (surprisingly both are continuing to talk, just in a less visual medium), Warner Bros. Discovery’s new regime killed Samantha Bee’s Full Frontal and Desus & Mero, who, for some, were the duo to reinvigorate the field, broke up.
Late-night, it seems, is just ticking along.
The Late Show will continue as comfortably the most-watched late-night show, particularly as we head into another general election year, and Stephen Colbert recently signed up for another three years.
Jimmy Kimmel Live! and The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon will continue to battle it out for second and third spot, battling over younger viewers but without any real sign of dethroning Colbert. Both hosts are in place for a couple of years.
John Oliver also just signed up for another three years on HBO’s Last Week Tonight, as revealed by Deadline earlier this month.
Seth Meyers will continue to take A Closer Look at the state of the country, helped by an assortment of punk rock drummers, but instead of taking on Carpool Karaoke, he’ll go up against , hosted by Taylor Tomlinson, which is set to debut early in the new year. The comedian becomes one of the few females in late-night, but it’s not really late-night
