Writers’ Guild of America calls for a strike: Late night shows at risk of reruns

The Writers’ Guild of America has officially called for a strike, as reported by CNN. Late-night hosts such as Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel have already taped their shows before the strike, but it remains to be seen whether they will air reruns or new shows. The strike could have a far-reaching impact on the entertainment industry, potentially pushing back the return of many programs set for fall. Late-night shows, including ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live!,” NBC’s “The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon,” CBS’s “Late Show With Stephen Colbert,” and “Late Night with Seth Meyers,” could be among the first to be impacted. Meyers has already addressed the strike, expressing hope for a resolution.
