The COVID-19 pandemic has ravaged much of late night television. Showtime’s Desus & Mero remains on hiatus. Meanwhile, HBO just announced that Last Week Tonight with John Oliver and Real Time With Bill Maher will return soon enough as we head into April. The Daily Show with Trevor Noah has been able to stay afloat with new content by filming full-length originals from home environments.
The Late Show with Stephen Colbert will air weeknights at 11:35 p.m. on CBS when it returns on Monday.
