Who’s on Late Night Tonight in Comedy?

It’s a bizarre new late night world we’re living in now. One without @midnight with Chris Hardwick, now that the show has wrapped its time on Comedy Central. Somehow we’re all going to have soldier on. Of course, there’s plenty of other Chris Hardwick projects going on if you need a fix. You can always watch his game show where contestants drop giant balls down a Plinko wall.

As for late night, here’s this week’s comedy highlights.

The week starts out strong with Conan coming back from his vacation and starting back to work with a comedy legend and one of today’s hottest stand ups. On Monday, Conan hosts both Bob Newhart and Tom Segura in what is sure to be a Coco Classic. Also starting on Monday, The Daily Show with Trevor Noah will begin a week of specials focusing on different storylines coming out of the Trump White House. The week kicks off with a look at the upcoming months of the administration titled, “The Second 100 Days“. Other Daily Show reports this week include, “The Russian Scandal: The Creme de la Kremlin“, “Trump’s Best, Smartest People: Such Great People” and Trevor Noah analyzing the media in the Age of Trump.

On Wednesday, the Saturday Night Live – Weekend Update anchormen Colin Jost and Michael Che are on Late Night with Seth Meyers to preview their August special, Weekend Update: Summer Edition. Also on Wednesday, Conan hosts another comedy icon this week with an appearance by Louie Anderson.

Thursday, Jim Jefferies is a guest on the Late Show with Stephen Colbert where Jim and Steve can compare Trump notes.
