SETH MEYERS

Late-night talk shows are returning after a five-month absence brought on by the Hollywood writers strike.

Hollywood actors will resume negotiations with studios and streaming services next week.

Late-night hosts Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy Fallon, John Oliver and Seth Meyers have teamed up for a new podcast called “Strike Force Five” — named after their personal text chain.

The impact of the writers strike was evident as major television networks began their annual week of sales presentations to advertisers.

Musical artist Kelly Clarkson will host the 12th annual NFL Honors awards show Feb. 9 in Phoenix, recognizing the league’s best players, performances and plays from the 2022 season.

Kamala Harris used her first late-night network TV appearance since becoming vice president to reflect on how her life has changed since she got the job -- including a shortage of emojis.

Jimmy Kimmel is celebrating his 20th anniversary as ABC’s late-night host early, signing a three-year contract extension for “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”.

Bobby Moynihan, the former “Saturday Night Live” star, is now a member of another inner circle of comedy: those writing children’s books.

Elaine May is this year’s recipient of the PEN/Mike Nichols Writing for Performance Award, a $25,000 prize established in 2019 to honor the legacy of Nichols, whose many achievements included his work with May as one of the leading comedy duos of the late 1950s and early ’60s.

This week’s remaining episodes of “Late Night with Seth Meyers” have been scrapped after the host tested positive for COVID-19.

Tributes from fellow actors and comedians poured in on social media Friday in reaction to the death of Betty White.

Seth Meyers has dreams beyond hosting his own talk show — like writing a story about a bear.

Have you heard the one about climate change.

(CBS/NBC/NBC/ABC via AP)NEW YORK – Late-night TV show hosts expressed anger and frustration at the violence at the U.S. Capitol, offering somber monologues that pleaded for unity even as some aimed pointed barbs at those they held responsible for the mobs' actions. “It was a terrible day in the history of this country,” said Jimmy Kimmel on his ABC show Wednesday. “If my grandfather were alive today and saw what was happening in the country that he fought for, he’d be disgusted," said Jimmy Fallon on NBC. "After five years of coddling this president’s fascist rhetoric, guess whose followers want to burn down the Reichstag?” he said. I assure you there are more good people than there are bad, and good will prevail,” Fallon said.

(AP Photo/Evan Vucci)WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump has been highlighting lots of really big numbers this week: New highs for the stock market.

At the film’s premiere at the New York Film Festival, Scorsese told the same story about Tacon and Pacino. After that film, Tacon fell in with famed stunt director Victor Magnotta.
