Most of late night is taking an early summer break ahead of the July 4th holiday weekend.<\/p>\n
Jimmy Kimmel<\/a> taped his final episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live!<\/a> until Labor Day on June 18, with the show\u2019s regular host now off on his annual summer break. The show will return Monday July 6 with Tiffany Haddish<\/a>, the first of this year\u2019s summer guest hosts<\/a>.<\/p>\n July 6 will also see Andy Cohen\u2019s Watch What Happens Live<\/a> return from its own one-week break. Cohen himself will still be working this week: he\u2019s co-hosting CNN\u2019s coverage<\/a> of this year\u2019s semiquincentennial Times Square summer ball drop with Anderson Cooper.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon<\/a> and Late Night with Seth Meyers<\/a> are both dark until July 13. All four shows will air repeats during their breaks.<\/p>\n Switching to cable: The Daily Show<\/a> is taking one week off, returning Tuesday July 7. Comedy Central will air alternate programming in its time slot while the show is away.<\/p>\n Among the weekly shows, Last Week Tonight<\/a> is on a three-week summer break, with John Oliver\u2019s HBO series returning with new episodes July 31. His HBO colleague Bill Maher also isn\u2019t expected back with Real Time<\/a> until late July or early August.<\/p>\n Not everything is going dark. Gutfeld!<\/a> and Nightline<\/a> will continue airing new episodes, as will Fox\u2019s FIFA World Cup coverage with James Corden.<\/p>\n LateNighter will also be on a lighter schedule during the break, though as always, if big news breaks while the shows are away, we\u2019ll be back.<\/p>\n Thanks for reading. More to come.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jimmy Kimmel Live returns July 6 (Photo: LateNighter) Most of late night is taking an early summer break…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":901230,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[30],"tags":[171,364949,83838,50812,54940,65691,353689,4088,36810,10507,173,67,132,68,79374],"class_list":["post-901229","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tv","tag-entertainment","tag-fifa-world-cup-on-fox-after-hours-with-james-corden","tag-gutfeld","tag-jimmy-kimmel-live","tag-last-week-tonight-with-john-oliver","tag-late-night-with-seth-meyers","tag-nightline","tag-real-time-with-bill-maher","tag-the-daily-show","tag-the-tonight-show-starring-jimmy-fallon","tag-tv","tag-united-states","tag-unitedstates","tag-us","tag-watch-what-happens-live-with-andy-cohen"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/901229","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=901229"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/901229\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/901230"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=901229"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=901229"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=901229"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
