Late-night talk shows are returning after a five-month absence brought on by the , while that could end their own long work walk-off.

CBSB次元官网网址檚 B次元官网网址� ,B次元官网网址� ABCB次元官网网址檚 B次元官网网址� B次元官网网址� and NBCB次元官网网址檚 B次元官网网址� B次元官网网址� were the first shows to leave the air when the writers strike began on May 2, and now will be among the first to return on Monday night.

Comedian John Oliver got his first take on the strike out, exuberantly returning Sunday night to his B次元官网网址淟ast Week TonightB次元官网网址� show on HBO and delivering full-throated support for the strike.

Oliver cheerily delivered a recap of stories from the last five months before turnings serious, calling the strike B次元官网网址渁n immensely difficult timeB次元官网网址� for all those in the industry.

B次元官网网址淭o be clear, this strike happened for good reasons. Our industry has seen its workers severely squeezed in recent years,B次元官网网址� Oliver said. B次元官网网址淪o, the writers guild went to strike and thankfully won. But, it took a lot of sacrifices from a lot of people to achieve that.B次元官网网址�

B次元官网网址淚 am also furious that it took the studios 148 days to achieve a deal they could have offered on day (expletive) one,B次元官网网址� Oliver said. He added that he hope the writers contract would give leverage to other entertainment industry guilds B次元官网网址� as well as striking auto workers and employees in other industries B次元官网网址� to negotiate better deals.

Warner Bros. Discovery, which owns HBO, is among the studios on the other side of the table in the writers and actors strikes.

Network late-night hosts will have their returns later Monday.

Colbert will have Astrophysicist and author Neil deGrasse Tyson on his first show back. Kimmel will host Arnold Schwarzenegger. Matthew McConaughey will be on FallonB次元官网网址檚 couch.

All the hosts will surely address the strike in their monologues.

B次元官网网址淚B次元官网网址檒l see you Monday, and every day after that!B次元官网网址� an ebullient last week from the Ed Sullivan Theater, which was full of his writers and other staffers for their first meeting since spring.

The hosts havenB次元官网网址檛 been entirely idle. They teamed up for a podcast, B次元官网网址� ,B次元官网网址� during the strike.

The last week after the Writers Guild of America reached an agreement on a three-year contract with an alliance of the industryB次元官网网址檚 biggest studios, streaming services and production companies.

Union leaders touted the deal as a clear win on issues including pay, size of staffs and the use of that made the months off worth it. The writers themselves will vote on the contract in a week of balloting that begins Monday.

Meanwhile, the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists will begin negotiations with the same group, the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, for the first time since they on July 14.

Actors walked off the job over many of the same issues as writers, and SAG-AFTRA leaders said they would look closely at the gains and compromises of the WGAB次元官网网址檚 deal, but emphasized that their demands would remain the same as they were when the strike began.

It was just five days after writers and studios resumed talks that a deal was reach and that strike ended, though an attempt to restart negotiations a month earlier broke off after a few meetings.

The late-night shows will have significant limits on their guest lists. Their bread and butter, actors appearing to promote projects, will not be allowed to appear if the movies and shows are for studios that are the subject of the strikes.

But exceptions abound. McConaughey, for example, is appearing with Fallon to promote his childrenB次元官网网址檚 book, B次元官网网址淛ust Because.B次元官网网址�

And SAG-AFTRA has granted allowing actors to work on many productions, and with that comes the right of actors to publicly promote them.
