Who is On Late Night Tonight in Comedy: Week of May 22, 2017

LATE NIGHT 2016 AUG

Who’s on Late Night Tonight in Comedy?

Feel that heat? That’s not just summer coming. It’s also the hot comedy that’s booked in late night TV this week. One quick note: Comedy Central is taking late night off this week with both the Daily Show and @midnight in reruns. As for the shows that are showing up for work, here’s some of the highlights.

This week, Jim Carrey will be hitting the late night TV circuit promoting the new Showtime series that he’s producing about a fictionalized club set in LA’s 1970s comedy scene called “I’m Dying Up Here“. Carrey’s late night stops include appearing with several cast members from the new series on the Late Late Show on Tuesday.

Also on Tuesday, in the music highlight department, Jimmy Kimmel is devoting his entire hour to U2 including an interview and performance by the band. And for those of you who are into politics, (that seems to be everyone nowadays), adamant Trump critic and tormentor Seth Meyers will be discussing the White House’s current situation with John “The Maverick” McCain on Tuesday.

One of our favorite comics, Mike Vecchione is returning to the Tonight Show to perform on Wednesday. Last time Mike was on the Tonight Show, Jay Leno was the host, so hopefully this leads to Mike becoming a regular guest. Also, this week is the beginning of jury selection for Bill Cosby’s sexual assault trial and on Wednesday, the comedian who brought down Cosby with just one joke, Hannibal Buress will be appearing on Stephen Colbert’s Late Show. We’ll all have to tune in to see if the subject comes up.

On Thursday, Conan plays host to Julia Louis-Dreyfus and the cast of the Emmy Award machine, “Veep“. It should be fun to watch the folks who worked in a fictional crazy White House talk about how their series stacks up against a real-life crazy White House.
