After several weeks of relative quiet, late night is beginning to look a little more like itself, with two NBC shows returning from extended breaks and nearly all of broadcast late night producing new episodes.
Here’s who’s on the week of July 13, who’s off, and who’s operating under summer rules:
Jimmy Kimmel Live!
On, with guest host Ike Barinholtz. Jimmy Kimmel remains on his annual summer vacation, with Barinholtz taking over as Jimmy Kimmel Live!’s second guest host of the summer. Barinholtz kicks off his week Monday with a mini-Mindy Project reunion featuring Mindy Kaling and Fortune Feimster. Joel McHale and Ben Marshall visit Tuesday, Seth Rogen and musical guest Willow appear Wednesday, and Thursday brings Regina Hall, Ike’s brother Jon Barinholtz and father Alan Barinholtz, and musical guest Jeff Tweedy.
The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon
On. After a two-week break, Jimmy Fallon and company are back with an Odyssey-themed week of new episodes. The Tonight Show welcomes Tom Holland, Mary Steenburgen, and Sienna Spiro on Monday, followed by Matt Damon and Anthony Michael Hall on Tuesday, Zendaya and Chrissy Metz on Wednesday, and Will Ferrell, Lupita Nyong’o, and musical guest Gracie Abrams on Thursday.
Comics Unleashed
Gone. Both installments of Comics Unleashed airing in the first half of CBS’ late-night block are repeats this week. Among the comics turning up in the encore installments are Omid Singh, Melanie Iglesias, Affion Crockett, Paul Virzi, Heather Shaw, Bruce Bruce, Noah Gardenswartz, Sydney Castillo, and Ryan Reiss.

Gone. The second hour of Byron Allen’s CBS late-night block also remains in repeats, with Funny You Should Ask continuing to air episodes that have previously run in syndication.
