Who is On Late Night Tonight in Comedy: Week of May 29, 2017

LATE NIGHT 2016 AUG

Who’s on Late Night Tonight in Comedy?

What are the signs that summer is arriving!? It gets hotter. There’s more daylight. And of course, the late night talk show hosts start taking vacations. With Monday being Memorial Day, none of the late night funny shows are working. Then for the rest of the week, the late night offerings are very slim, with only The Daily Show and @midnight airing new episodes and Jimmy Kimmel only working a couple of days. We’ll still pick out some highlights for you from both the new shows and reruns scheduled this week.

As mentioned, all of the shows are off on Monday, but if you’re into the Zach Braff series “Scrubs“, Comedy Central is running marathon of episodes which will also fill the time slots vacated on Monday by The Daily Show and @midnight. Plus on Monday, Conan is re-airing an appearance by Bill Burr which is always worth a second watch and Fallon has a repeat featuring John Oliver and Patton Oswalt.

On Tuesday, repeat highlights include Wanda Sykes and Chris Gethard on a Seth Meyers rerun from earlier this month. If you missed it the first time it aired, on Wednesday, there’s a unique repeat appearance by Jim Carrey on JKL from last week, a repeat of Amy Schumer on Colbert, and Louie Anderson is on a Conan rerun from February of this year. On Thursday, Conan O’Brien will be re-airing parts of his special, Conan Without Borders: Made in Mexico, during his regularly scheduled time slot and JKL is will be brand new with Jimmy Kimmel hosting his old flame Sarah Silverman. And on Friday, Stephen Colbert is airing an encore of his Daily Show reunion show featuring Jon Stewart, Rob Corddry, John Oliver, Ed Helms and Samantha Bee.
