FWIW, Corden started live shows from his home this week (he did do a quarantine-themed primetime special in late March).  Bandleader Reggie Watts appears, for about as long as Jon Batiste does on the Late Show. Corden's dad, a retired military musician, features tonight, as he's taken to doing

And in Chicago, the Kimmel repeat is being followed this week by "Wheel of Fortune," which would normally run at 6:30 p.m., as it has on WLS since January 1984, excepting the occasional news event or sports pre-emption. (Actually, 6:28 p.m., but you know.) As they did two weeks ago, WLS is taking

Kimmel did some YouTube only monologues from his house,  then went to doing full shows from his house with about half being repeated segments. This week he is doing 1/2 hour shows from home that ABC is running at 11:35, then Nightline at 12:05 and repeating Kimmel's 1/2 hour at 12:35 -- Thi

As I noted after Colbert's first night at home, I'm mostly enjoying the format, as the panels seem less canned and more spontaneous. Tonight's interview with Cate Blanchett was refreshing in its conversational presentation; just two people who like each other having a chat. Now, that said: Fall

While Full Frontal doesn't go as in depth as Last Week Tonight, (I don't recall them ever taking a full episode on a single topic), Sam Bee and company do produce some well-written, clever, informative and funny pieces that could stand next to a lot of what Oliver and company have done. https:/

This (that Maher’s show s the best written in late night) seems extremely unlikely to me, though I suppose I can’t eliminate a zone zero possibility, since I have not watched him (and will not be). I think Colbert has really found his footing during the Virus in the last week (his show with Bernie

Okay, I noticed the canned laughter this time. Despite last night not being his best work, I still believe the show has the finest writing staff in late nite. (I know, I'm a voice of one here.) Here's a sample of the show at its best: https://youtu.be/c5jkYN_wG7c On Fri, Apr 10, 2020 at 11:
