Most of late night is taking an early summer break ahead of the July 4th holiday weekend.<\/p>\n
Jimmy Kimmel<\/a> taped his final episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live!<\/a> until Labor Day on June 18, with Kimmel now off on his annual summer break. The show will return Monday July 6 with Tiffany Haddish<\/a>, the first of this year\u2019s summer guest hosts<\/a>.<\/p>\n July 6 will also see Andy Cohen\u2019s Watch What Happens Live<\/a> return from its own one-week break. Cohen himself will still be working this week: he\u2019s co-hosting CNN\u2019s coverage<\/a> of this year\u2019s semiquincentennial Times Square summer ball drop with Anderson Cooper.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon<\/a> and Late Night with Seth Meyers<\/a> are both dark until July 13. All four shows will air repeats during their breaks.<\/p>\n Switching to cable: The Daily Show<\/a> is taking one week off, returning Tuesday July 7. Comedy Central will air alternate programming in its time slot while the show is away.<\/p>\n Among the weekly shows, Last Week Tonight<\/a> is on a three-week summer break, with John Oliver\u2019s HBO series returning with new episodes July 31. His HBO colleague Bill Maher also isn\u2019t expected back with Real Time<\/a> until late July or early August.<\/p>\n Not everything is going dark. Gutfeld!<\/a> and Nightline<\/a> will continue airing new episodes, as will FIFA World Cup on FOX After Hours with James Corden<\/a>.<\/p>\n LateNighter will also be on a lighter schedule during the break, though as always, if big news breaks while the shows are away, we\u2019ll be back.<\/p>\n Thanks for reading. More to come.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jimmy Kimmel Live returns July 6 (Photo: LateNighter) Most of late night is taking an early summer break…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":733307,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[54],"tags":[88,315654,54955,11575,22340,11576,304621,60021,9610,36512,92,80245],"class_list":["post-733306","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tv","tag-entertainment","tag-fifa-world-cup-on-fox-after-hours-with-james-corden","tag-gutfeld","tag-jimmy-kimmel-live","tag-last-week-tonight-with-john-oliver","tag-late-night-with-seth-meyers","tag-nightline","tag-real-time-with-bill-maher","tag-the-daily-show","tag-the-tonight-show-starring-jimmy-fallon","tag-tv","tag-watch-what-happens-live-with-andy-cohen"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/733306","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=733306"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/733306\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/733307"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=733306"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=733306"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=733306"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
