The Fourth of July may be in the rearview, but late night\u2019s summer slowdown continues for another week, with a skeleton crew holding down the time period.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s who\u2019s on the week of July 6, who\u2019s off, and who\u2019s operating under summer rules:<\/p>\n
Jimmy Kimmel Live!<\/p>\n
On, minus Jimmy. Jimmy Kimmel<\/a> is already two weeks into his annual summer vacation, but Jimmy Kimmel Live!<\/a> is back in originals, with Tiffany Haddish<\/a> becoming the show\u2019s first guest host of the summer. Haddish\u2019s week kicks off Monday with Octavia Spencer, Jack Whitehall, and musical guest Elmiene, followed Tuesday by Allison Janney and Auli\u2019i Cravalho, Wednesday by Lil Rel Howery and Shameik Moore, and Thursday by Liza Col\u00f3n-Zayas.<\/p>\n The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon<\/p>\n Gone. Jimmy Fallon<\/a> and company are in the second week of a two-week break, with The Tonight Show<\/a> is airing encore episodes featuring Tracee Ellis Ross, Milly Alcock, Ryan Hamilton, John Cena, Olivia Cooke, John Lithgow, Regina Hall, Mick Jagger, Brendan Fraser, and Kate Mara. Fallon is scheduled to return with new episodes July 13.<\/p>\n Comics Unleashed<\/p>\n Gone. After several weeks in which the first half-hour of CBS\u2019 Comics Unleashed<\/a> block was first-run, both half-hours are in repeats this week. As always, the show\u2019s deliberately evergreen format makes that distinction a little blurrier than it is for most late-night series.<\/p>\n Funny You Should Ask<\/p>\n Gone. The second hour of Byron Allen<\/a>\u2019s CBS late-night block also remains in repeats, with Funny You Should Ask<\/a> continuing to air episodes that have previously run in syndication.<\/p>\n Late Night with Seth Meyers<\/p>\n Gone. Seth Meyers<\/a> is still on break, with Late Night<\/a> airing its third straight week of repeats. The show is set to return with new episodes next week.<\/p>\n Nightline<\/p>\n On. ABC\u2019s late-night newsmagazine is scheduled to continue airing new episodes this week.<\/p>\n The Daily Show<\/p>\n On, but starting late. After last week\u2019s holiday-adjacent break, Comedy Central\u2019s flagship late-night series is back\u2014but not quite for a full week. The Daily Show<\/a> is taking Monday off before returning with new episodes Tuesday through Thursday. No word yet on who will be hosting those episodes.<\/p>\n Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen<\/p>\n On. Andy Cohen<\/a>\u2019s Bravo clubhouse is back this week, with Watch What Happens Live<\/a> slated to air originals featuring guests including Aesha Scott, Cole McBee, Stephanie Ruhle, Georgina Ferzli, Jesse Lally, Lacy Nicole, Georgia McCann, Vicki Gunvalson, and SNL\u2018s Sarah Sherman.<\/p>\n Gutfeld!<\/p>\n On. No rest for Gutfeld!<\/a>. As with most cable news shows, Greg Gutfeld<\/a>\u2019s Fox News program typically keeps moving through the summer with new episodes and, when needed, guest hosts.<\/p>\n FIFA World Cup on FOX After Hours with James Corden<\/p>\n On. James Corden<\/a>\u2019s World Cup-themed late-night pop-up enters its penultimate week with five new episodes on deck: Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. The limited-run FOX series<\/a> is scheduled to wrap July 18.<\/p>\n Real Time with Bill Maher<\/p>\n Gone. Bill Maher<\/a> is now on his summer break, with Real Time<\/a> off this week. HBO currently has the series slated to return with a new episode July 31.<\/p>\n Last Week Tonight with John Oliver<\/p>\n Gone. John Oliver<\/a> is also off this week, as Last Week Tonight<\/a> begins its summer break. The HBO weekly series is scheduled to return with new episodes July 26.<\/p>\n Saturday Night Live<\/p>\n Gone. No change here: Saturday Night Live<\/a> remains on summer hiatus after closing out Season 51 in May. The show is expected to kick off Season 52 on October 3, 2026.<\/p>\n Visit our lineups area<\/a> for updated guest listings for all the late-night shows and subscribe to our daily newsletter<\/a> to receive stories like this in your inbox.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Photos: Todd Owyoung\/NBC, Randy Holmes\/ABC, CBS screenshot, Lloyd Bishop\/NBC The Fourth of July may be in the rearview,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":746314,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[54],"tags":[120217,88,315654,252316,54955,11575,22340,11576,304621,60021,12015,9610,10675,36512,92,80245],"class_list":["post-746313","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tv","tag-comics-unleashed","tag-entertainment","tag-fifa-world-cup-on-fox-after-hours-with-james-corden","tag-funny-you-should-ask","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-saturday-night-live","tag-the-daily-show","tag-the-late-show-with-stephen-colbert","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\/746313","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=746313"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/746313\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/746314"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=746313"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=746313"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=746313"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
