Late-Night TV Is (Mostly) Dark This Week—And So Are We

Most of late night is taking an early summer break ahead of the July 4th holiday weekend.

Jimmy Kimmel taped his final episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live! until Labor Day on June 18, with Kimmel now off on his annual summer break. The show will return Monday July 6 with Tiffany Haddish, the first of this year’s summer guest hosts.

July 6 will also see Andy Cohen’s Watch What Happens Live return from its own one-week break. Cohen himself will still be working this week: he’s co-hosting CNN’s coverage of this year’s semiquincentennial Times Square summer ball drop with Anderson Cooper.

Meanwhile, The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and Late Night with Seth Meyers are both dark until July 13. All four shows will air repeats during their breaks.

Comics Unleashed with Byron Allen is splitting the difference this week, with CBS airing first-run episodes three nights this week in its first half-hour, on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. Reruns will fill the rest of Byron Allen’s two-hour CBS late-night block.

Switching to cable: The Daily Show is taking one week off, returning Tuesday July 7. Comedy Central will air alternate programming in its time slot while the show is away.

Among the weekly shows, Last Week Tonight is on a three-week summer break, with John Oliver’s HBO series returning with new episodes July 31. His HBO colleague Bill Maher also isn’t expected back with Real Time until late July or early August.

Not everything is going dark. Gutfeld! and Nightline will continue airing new episodes, as will FIFA World Cup on FOX After Hours with James Corden.

LateNighter will also be on a lighter schedule during the break, though as always, if big news breaks while the shows are away, we’ll be back.

Thanks for reading. More to come.

  1. CBS got a lot ‘darker’ with Colbert’s replacement says:

    Suddenly, light-skinned Democrats are against the Great Replacement when it involves them and their inveterate routine.

    Sorry, Boomers, but you are not entitled to your costly predilections.

    1. You're getting dumber with each post, Zero! says:

      No one thought it was possible, but you sure showed us, child!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

    2. Shlomo Goldberg says:

      So what are you, a dark-skinned Republican? Uncle Tom-ass motherfucker.

      1. I’m an actual American, unlike you Jews says:

        You aren’t loyal to your host country. You’re just Israeli spies. You would side with Israel in a war against America just like in 1967 with the bombing of the ISS Liberty.

      2. Should have typed that in German, Zero! says:

        You lowlife rodent!

      3. I’m more interesting than you 😃 says:

        Jealousy is not a good look, old man. When’s the last time you got laid? Probably decades ago and you had to pay for it.

      4. Not that long ago, Zero! And she was hot! says:

        Whereas YOU, OTOH, are an obvious incel who’s never going to have a woman touch you, just based on your behavior and attitude here, Zero!

        And you’re about as interesting as a severe case of herpes, child! But you won’t have to worry about getting that, seeing as you’re doomed to a life of virginity!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🖕😈🖕

      5. Driftwood 🪵 says:

        You’ll never have this 👦

        You only have this to look forward to 🪦

        You’re just driftwood 🪵

      6. I'm still better than you, Zero! says:

        Because you’re an insufferably obnoxious loser with nothing to say but racist and offensive insults!

        Fat, obnoxious and stupid is no way to go through life, bitchboi! Get the fuck away from your mommy’s computer and go out and get a fucking job, already!

  2. Fard Muhammad says:

    But will the Comics still be Unleashed with new episodes?!

    1. Jed Rosenzweig says:

      They will! For part of the week, anyway. CBS will air first-run episodes Mon, Tues, and Weds of this week in the show’s first half hour. Repeats on Thurs and Fri. No word yet on next week. (I’ve just added this to the post, too…)

  3. Mike says:

    Why do you include Gutfeld! and Watch What happens Live on this site?

    They’re both prime time shows, not late night.

    1. Shlomo Goldberg says:

      My guess is covering Gutfeld keeps the red hats coming back. I agree with you, but it’s tough to make money on a website in the social media era, so I don’t blame LateNighter for covering those shows if it helps pay the bills. Seems like stories about Comics Leashed gives the red hats some meat to chew on as well, as they get to gloat about the Late Show cancelation. Besides, we need culture wars to distract us from the real enemies… NOT me, I might add.

      1. Who are the real enemies? says:

        Let me guess…the enemies of Israel.

      2. Wrong, Zero! says:

        The enemies are dumbfuck anti Semitic choads, like you, who’ll fall hard if you go after the Jews! You have no fucking clue what you’re up against! They’ll eviscerate you before you take your next breath, you loser toddler!

      3. You’re just driftwood 🪵 says:

        🪵

      4. You're a soft, stinky turd, Zero! says:

        And soft, stinky turds like you, ALWAYS get flushed down the shitter, where you belong!💩😈

  4. Diane Carter says:

    Life will never be the same without Stephen Colbert.
    He is one of the funniest, most talented people going.
    Have you seen his replacement?
    What a bad idea and huge loss!’

    1. I think you’ll survive says:

      He wasn’t funny and nobody here watched him.

      1. Are you fucking stupid, Zero? says:

        Colbert was watched by millions on tv and online!

        What the fuck makes you think you can gaslight us like that? You’re nowhere’s bright enough to pull it off, you childish parasitic loser!

      2. Shlomo Goldberg says:

        Who anointed you the asshole who speaks for everyone at LateNighter, cock wallet?

      3. You filthy Jews says:

        You are the direct competitor of blacks in your ‘Muh dick’ profane scat lechery.

      4. Of course you'd say that, Zero! says:

        You’re a world class fecalpheliac!💩💩💩💩💩

      5. You’re not smarter than me 🤣 says:

        That must suck to be that wrapped up in a far younger, smarter and better looking guy.

        You’re old, bald, fat and ugly. You stare at screens all day and haven’t gotten pussy in decades if ever.

        When did you switch to cock? When did you give up and realize you’re unwanted? Nobody replies to any of your comments because you’re boring.

        I’ve literally gotten laid by women just like this. Anonymous women flying around the world to give me their virginity. How badly does that bother you?

        You know why? Because im interesting and funny unlike you. That’s why every single comment I make starts a thread and nobody responds to any of yours.

        I’m more important than you. 😊

      6. Blah, blah, blah! says:

        That’s how you come across here, Zero! Unhinged and full of tears from your typing! You love to dish it out, but you can’t fucking take it, like the psycho bully you show yourself to be!

        You’d be a full time job for any psychiatrist trying to figure you out! But, at the end of the day, they’d just walk away from you because you’re beyond help!

        BTW, I’m not fat, and I still have my hair! And I’ve been told by plenty of women how handsome I am! So you’d be lying about me, as usual! What other fucking lame ass lies and excuses will you come up with, as your tears fall on your mommy’s keyboard, bitchboi?

      7. Driftwood is and will always be driftwood 🪵 says:

        Too rotten and moldy to even light on fire.

        Too senescent to grow or be chopped or even used as shade.

        You’re just driftwood 🪵

      8. You're just lame and stupid, Zero! says:

        You unintelligent, insane posts here keep giving you away, you soft stinky turd!

  5. SM in SF says:

    Nightline is absolutely NOT NEW. So many repeats.
    Some are even reruns of gloried 30 min commercials for Hulu shows (i.e. Gucci Mane)

  6. This is the most attention you got in years says:

    I don’t read anything you type. Nobody does. You just say the same thing over and over.

    This is why nobody acknowledges you here or IRL. Well that and because you’re just old. You’re so old every time you wake up is a miracle. You look around and wonder when will be your last day. You see and hear children playing and wonder where it went wrong for you. All those decades ago you may have had a chance to have a family and grandkids by now.

    Opportunity cost. Tsk tsk

    Just kidding. You never had a fertile woman touch you. It was never your choice. Now when some 70 year old walks past you it is the highlight of your day. The smell of mothballs is now a turn on for you since you can’t get any younger and when they want nothing to do with you.

    You have kids or a wife. Haha 😆 🫵

    1. Talking into the void again, eh Zero? says:

      No surprise, considering you’re a crazy person with mental issues that need addressing, bitchboi!

      1. Driftwood has to get the last word every time says:

        Here’s your Burger King crown 👑

        You tactless, infertile, talentless driftwood 🪵

      2. Cuz it's fun bitchslapping you and your ignorant opinions, Zero! says:

        You make it too easy to smack you around, bitchboi!

  7. Shlomo Goldberg says:

    I desperately need to cum. I mean, uh… I need my late-night fix.
