Major late-night shows are stopping production and will not air new content as thousands of Hollywood writers are going on strike.
“The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,” “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” and “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” will not air new shows starting Tuesday night.
Additionally, “Late Night with Seth Meyers” and “The Daily Show” will not air new shows.
Most of the programs are expected to air re-runs during the strike.
Deadline noted, “Weekly shows as ‘Saturday Night Live,’ ‘Real Time with Bill Maher’ and ‘Last Week Tonight with John Oliver’ will be similarly impacted. The two HBO shows will shut down, although a final decision on SNL is expected to come later in the week.
