Live,” CBS’ “The Late Show,” and NBC’s “Tonight” and “Late Night” are all going on hiatus as a result of the start of the Hollywood writers’ strike — and the shows could be off the air for at least a few weeks. In place of new programs, NBC, CBS and ABC will air repeats of those shows. HBO will also cease live production of “Real Time with Bill Maher” and “This Week Tonight” with John Oliver. Immediate word on Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show” and NBC’s “Saturday Night Live” was not available.
One wee-hours competitor intends to keep going: Fox News Channel says it will continue to broadcast new shows of Greg Gutfeld’s 11 p.m. panel program.
