Jimmy Kimmel has finally scored a meeting with the Vice President.
VP Kamala Harris is now scheduled to appear on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Tuesday, June 4.
She was initially slated to guest on Kimmel’s April 16th episode, but postponed the appearance days after it was announced, cutting her Los Angeles trip short for an undisclosed reason.
At the time, insiders said her interview would be rescheduled for a later date. (Harris’ next talk show appearance wound up being The Kelly Clarkson Show on April 29.)
Her appearance will come less than a week after yesterday’s conviction of former President Donald Trump on 34 felony charges related to hush money payments made to Stormy Daniels. Last night, Kimmel had the distinction of being the only late-night host not on vacation the day the news broke.
Harris last appeared on a late-night show in March 2023 when she guested on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.

Vice President Kamala Harris is heading to late-night after all.
Harris was previously set to appear on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Tuesday April 16, but later canceled the appearance, although no reason was given at the time.
She will now appear on the ABC show on Tuesday June 4.
If she makes it this time, it would be her second appearance on the show, having previously appeared in March 2019 when she was running for top office.
Last year, Harris appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and in 2022 made her first late-night appearance since becoming VP on Late Night with Seth Meyers, where she talked up her administration’s plans to fight climate change, restore abortion rights and pardon people with federal convictions for marijuana possession.

With Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Fallon, Seth Meyers and Jon Stewart’s respective late-night programs in reruns, all eyes were on Jimmy “Isn’t It Past Your Jail Time?” Kimmel for his reaction to Donald Trump’s conviction.
On Thursday afternoon, Trump was found guilty on all 34 felony counts in the criminal trial related to hush money payment made to adult film actress Stormy Daniels, with whom he allegedly had sexual encounters in 2006. (The felony conviction of a onetime Potus — and presumptive GOP nominee in this November’s presidential election — is unprecedented.)

New York and Los Angeles usually corner the market when it comes to TV audience opportunities, but late-night fans in Wisconsin have a rare opportunity to catch a taping this summer.
The Daily Show is seeking audiences for their “Indecision 2024” broadcasts from the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee this July.
The full week of shows coincides with the dates of the RNC: Monday, July 15 through Thursday, July 18. It remains unclear if Monday-night host Jon Stewart will host any of the episodes.
As we’ve previously reported, The Daily Show is set to take “The Best F*cking News Team on Television” on the road twice this summer, with the show visiting Chicago for the Democratic National Convention in August. (Stephen Colbert will also take The Late Show to Chicago for the DNC.)

In today’s day and age, there are multiple franchises that have won the hearts of many to create fandoms of their own. While some of the positions in this respective list have been retained by superhero sagas like the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the DC Universe, perhaps none comes as close to celebrating almost a half-century of its existence as the Star Wars lore.

Yes, you read it right, because George Lucas’ mammoth saga will actually soon be celebrating its Golden Jubilee within less than half a decade. This is because the massive fan-favorite saga surpassed 47 years of existence today in the cinematic entertainment industry to become one of the greatest franchises in history to pretty much create the atomic age of cinema.

Stephen Colbert took his turn commenting on the Donald Trump aide making headlines as the “human printer” during his Thursday night monologue. It began with him noting that the campaign had taken down a video with a headline about a “unified reich” under Trump, which they had said was posted by a junior staffer.
The New York Times reported this week that Natalie Harp is the person responsible, both helping to run his Truth Social social media account and supplying Trump with printouts containing “mood-boosting news” the former president is often seen reading from. Colbert noted that Harp carries a portable printer that lets her quickly produce hard copies of articles for Trump.
“When she really needs his attention, she prints those positive news [stories] right on a slice of bologna,” Colbert joked, before miming Trump reading the news, sniffing it and licking it. He also continued a run of meat-related...

Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert might host comedy shows, but according to a new poll, they’re about as trusted as serious news anchors.
The Hollywood Reporter and decision intelligence firm Morning Consult asked 2,239 adults in the U.S. how much they trusted various TV hosts. While the survey’s focus was mostly on news anchors, three politically-inclined late-night hosts were also included in the survey—and performed favorably.
The survey was conducted over two days in early May, well into Jon Stewart’s run as Monday-night host of The Daily Show.
Asked “How much do you trust [insert anchor name here]?,” respondents had a choice of 5 answers: “A lot,” “Some,” “Not much,” “Not at all,” or “Don’t know / No opinion.”
Both Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert fared about the same: 57% of those surveyed said they had either “a lot” or “some” trust in both hosts.

Matt Damon made his Hollywood debut in 1997, as Will Hunting in the Oscar-winning movie Good Will Hunting. Since then, he has made appearances in many other movies, including the hit action franchise, Bourne. After five movies, one of which Damon missed out on, the series took a break. But now, it looks like things are back in gear.

According to Matt Damon, director Edward Berger of All Quiet on the Western Front has an idea for the next instalment of the Bourne franchise after fans thought we had come to an end with Jason Bourne in 2016. But given Damon is currently 53 years old, it would be quite the task for the actor to reprise the role of the spy. And we already know he is not doing at least one thing in the move if it ever happens.

“The gatekeepers are gone,” Colin Jost told a roomful of journalists at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner on April 27, before pivoting to the punchline: “Did you know that 90 percent of people now get their news exclusively from social media? And that must be true because I saw it in a random guy’s TikTok.”
For those (ever fewer) media gatekeepers who have major reach, trust is currency. And there’s still a halo effect for those TV stars with broadest viewership — i.e., network TV hosts — particularly evening and morning show anchors for NBC and ABC, a new THR/Morning Consult poll shows. The survey, conducted May 4-5 among a sample of 2,239 U.S. adults, asked opinions about 40-plus major TV news stars, as well as surveyed trends about America’s fractured media diet during a presidential campaign year.

No one can drag Billie Eilish down…unless you’re the weight strapped to her during the photo shoot for her Hit Me Hard and Soft album cover art.
The Grammy-winning singer revealed on Tuesday’s episode of The Late Show With Stephen Colbert that the photo for her third studio album, released May 17, was in fact “very real” and not photoshopped.
“This was the day after this last Grammys, actually. I had gone to sleep at 7 a.m.,” Eilish recalled of the day she shot the artwork. “I woke up, I dyed my hair black — it was like bright red — I dyed it black that day. Then I went to this random place in Santa Clarita or some nonsense. There’s a tank in this giant place, and it was, like, 10 feet deep. And I popped my little ass in there, and I was in there for six hours.

Billie Eilish stopped by the Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Tuesday night, where she staged the first live performance in support of her new album, Hit Me Hard and Soft. Teaming up with her brother Finneas, Eilish performed “Lunch.”
Eilish also sat down with Colbert for a three-segment interview, where she discussed the inspiration behind the album’s title and cover, why she considers it her most personal project to date, and playing Coachella with Lana Del Rey. Eilish also named-checked some of the vocalists she considered her biggest inspirations, including Lana Del Rey, Mariana + The Diamonds, Ella Fitzgerald, Chet Baker, and confirmed her interest in one day making an album of standards.
This fall, Eilish will embark on the “Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour.” The expansive outing takes place over 10 months across three continents, stopping in cities like New York, Atlanta, Sydney, Paris, and many more.

Two of the most celebrated shows in Emmy history are set to experience a weird awards season.
Saturday Night Live, which has won more Emmys than any other show in television history, and Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, which has won in its category eight years in a row, could both face the indignity of not being officially nominated for an Emmy as a result of submission rules.
The number of submissions in the Outstanding Scripted Variety Series category is expected to be significantly lower than last year. In addition to SNL and Oliver’s HBO show, the only other shows understood to be submitting in this category are CBS’ Taylor Tomlinson-hosted After Midnight, HBO’s Painting with John and The Magic Prank Show with Justin Willman, which launched in April.
Per TV Academy rules, categories with fewer than 7 submissions will be “screened by the appropriate peer group...

Spike Feresten got his start in comedy while working as a receptionist at Saturday Night Live, where he began submitting jokes to then “Weekend Update” anchor Dennis Miller. Before long, as many as five of his jokes were making it to air in a given week.
From there he was hired as a staff writer on Letterman, then Seinfeld (we have Feresten to thank for “The Soup Nazi” and “Little Kicks”), and then ABC’s legendary Dana Carvey Show, where his colleagues included Robert Smigel, Steve Carell, Stephen Colbert, and Louis C.K.
But among comedy nerds, he may be most revered for hosting his own talk show, Talkshow With Spike Feresten, which aired Saturday nights on Fox from 2006-2009. The show holds the record as the Fox Network’s longest-running late-night show, and as Feresten reveals to LateNighter’s Mark Malkoff, it would have continued longer had he not made...

Chide and Seek
Former New York Governor, former Donald Trump lawyer, and current guy who owes $150 million to election workers he defamed Rudy Giuliani celebrated his 80th birthday this weekend. It was a typical Maga party, complete with seditious pals like Roger Stone and Steve Bannon, a Sinatra cover band, and presumably all the booze in the world. Oh, and several process servers who, alerted by Giuliani gloating on social media about how successfully he’s been dodging subpoenas for trying to subvert democracy (in Arizona this time), waited until “Happy Birthday” was sung to put the legal documents in Rudy’s baffled hands.
Hubris, thy name, this week anyway, is Rudy. Such a massive self-own was irresistible to late-night, with Jimmy Kimmel opening with a pithily gleeful,...

Just in case you weren’t sure where Jimmy Kimmel stood in the upcoming presidential election, he’s making it explicit, taking part in an upcoming fundraiser that will see him in conversation with President Biden and Former President Obama.
The event, which is scheduled to take place June 15th in Los Angeles, comes on the heels of a New York event hosted by Kimmel’s late-night competitor Stephen Colbert. That event, which saw Colbert interview Biden, Obama and Bill Clinton at Radio City Music Hall, raised a record-setting $26 million for Biden’s reelection campaign.
A venue hasn’t yet been announced for Kimmel’s event, but it’s set to include at least two other Hollywood heavy hitters in George Clooney and Julia Roberts, who are being billed as “special guests.”

Last summer’s strikes, as writers and actors took on the studios, led to historic change – but how is the industry faring now?
Fans of Pete Davidson who tuned in to watch him host Saturday Night Live were disappointed to find a rerun instead. Viewers of Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Fallon and Jimmy Kimmel found they too had gone dark. While late-night TV had found ingenious ways to stay on air during a global pandemic, this was different.
It was a year ago this month that screenwriters hit the picket lines. Actors followed suit with a walkout in mid-July, the first time that the two unions had been on strike together since 1960. As Hollywood came to a standstill, studios were forced to the negotiating table on issues including minimum pay, streaming residuals and guardrails against the use of artificial intelligence (AI).

Steve Carell wasn’t the only person Stephen Colbert spent his 60th birthday with. He also celebrated with… other Stephen Colberts.
In honor of the Late Show host’s big day, Colbert’s staff members all came to work Monday wearing outfits inspired by Colbert’s wardrobe—both on-air and off.
The Late Show posted clips of the antics on its Instagram account as part of the show’s behind-the-scenes series “Late Show Me More.”
The clip shows Colbert entering his morning meeting, only to realize that he’s surrounded by fashion doppelgängers.

Just when the Jimmys thought they were finally free of having to compete against John Oliver at the Emmys, another John has popped up in his place—John Mulaney.
Mulaney’s six-episode Netflix series Everybody’s in L.A. has been moved into the Outstanding Talk Series category. This means that, if nominated, Mulaney’s weird little show will face off against The Daily Show, Late Night, The Late Show, and The Tonight Show.
The last-minute change came about as a result of the Television Academy. Netflix had reportedly planned to submit the series for consideration in the Outstanding Scripted Variety Series category, which would see it go head-to-head with Saturday Night Live and Last Week Tonight. But, as Variety reports, “Netflix and the creative team felt the show was better suited for the talk series category and, as a result, will now compete against late-night hosts such as Jimmy Kimmel,...

Everyone’s in the Emmy race, but Netflix and the Television Academy feel John Mulaney is better suited for a different category than intended — and that may only benefit his awards run.
Netflix’s live smash “John Mulaney Presents: Everybody’s in L.A,.” featuring the Emmy-winning stand-up comedian celebrating the quirks and unique personality of his beloved city, was massively popular on the platform. The streaming giant had planned to submit the show into the scripted variety category, where it would compete against the long-running “Saturday Night Live” and “Last Week Tonight with John Oliver.” However, Variety has learned exclusively that Netflix and the creative team felt the show was better suited for the talk series category and, as a result, will now compete against late-night hosts such as Jimmy Kimmel, Stephen Colbert, Seth Meyers, and Jimmy Fallon.

Elon Musk may only be the third richest person in the world, but among his peers he’s the number one target of many late-night hosts. So it’s hardly surprising that the Tesla founder—who has a reputation for trying to disrupt the media spaces he does not like (see: the social media network formerly known as Twitter)—has set his sights on burning late-night television to the ground.
No, Musk isn’t planning to hop behind a desk and deliver a nightly monologue. But apparently he does think that Grok, his AI chatbot, has the talent to out-funny all the Jimmys and Jo(h)ns who currently occupy the post-primetime daypart.
Musk took to X early Thursday to share his plans, explaining: “Grok will soon offer a humorous take on the news in the spirit of how The Daily Show and Colbert Report used to be in ancient times.

Jimmy Fallon’s Tonight Show is the latest late-night show to enter the podcast game.
The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon quietly began distributing a version of its show as a podcast earlier this month.
The podcast—which features Fallon’s monologue, sketches and games, and extended versions of his interviews from the previous night’s episode—will be released each morning Tuesday through Saturday.
“I’m excited to announce that I’m officially the last person on earth to start a podcast,” Fallon joked in a trailer for the show.
He’s not that far off. The Tonight Show is one of the last major players to join a growing trend of late-night shows turning to podcasting.
The Late Show with Stephen Colbert launched The Late Show Pod Show, an audio cutdown of its nightly program with exclusive extras, in October 2021.

The Emmy race just got a bit more spicy.

Missed Wednesday’s late-night monologues? We’ve got you covered with our round-up of the night’s best laughs from across the dial.
Master Debaters?
With the 2024 presidential election to determine whether 51 percent of Americans think America should continue as a democracy a mere six months away, it was inevitable that the political discourse would turn to the debates. That, even though one candidate is currently being tried on felony charges that he engaged in business crimes to defraud the last electorate and might be in prison. Yes, President Joe Biden even issued the invitation to Donald Trump in the most Dark Brandon manner possible, challenging his rival to a Wednesday debate because he knows Trump’s trial takes that day off. As Stephen Colbert noted in a specially constructed “Damn Cam” reaction shot, “Damnnnn.”
For most late-night hosts, the prospect of a third go-around of Republican candidate Donald Trump blustering,...

Audience members at Tuesday’s taping of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert were treated to a surprise appearance from Billie Eilish.

That makes the Colbert audience the first crowd to hear those songs, which have not been heard in full ahead of the album’s release this Friday.
Eilish’s appearance was kept secret until midway through the taping. “It was a complete surprise,” said one reddit user who attended the show. “We were initially told by Stephen that it was going to be Jennifer Hudson and an actress who’s playing Amy Winehouse in a biopic.

When the Cohen Gets Rough
Former Donald Trump pal and legal “fixer” Michael Cohen continued to undergo cross examination in a New York courtroom on Tuesday, as Trump’s current lawyers attempted to paint the former lawyer/henchman as a crude, self-promoting narcissist—apparently after forgetting who they’re representing. Cohen persisted in delivering the damning goods in Trump’s business/election fraud hush money trial, providing a fetid trove of incriminating texts, recollections, and documents that paint his former best buddy as, well, a crude, self-promoting narcissist.
For late-night hosts, these daily court rundowns are likewise a mixed blessing of sordid insider details and present-day GOP monkeyshines. Or, as Stephen Colbert put it, “It’s been a real case of déjà ewwww.”

Stephen Colbert celebrated his 60th birthday on Monday—but it was viewers of The Late Show who received the best gift: an unexpected revival of “Even Stevphen,” a long-running bit from Colbert and Steve Carell’s time together on The Daily Show.
As Colbert got ready to start the show, he acknowledged that it was a monumental day for him, but opined that “I think aging is a good thing.” It was then that Carell suddenly appeared on the stage, bellowing “You are wrong, Stephen!” to his former late-night colleague.
For old-school fans of The Daily Show, it was clear that the two Steves were about to engage in one of their classic “Even Stevphen” debates. The topic? Aging.
Carell made his not-so-happy feelings about getting older clear when he lamented that “We are born astride a grave and, each day, the cruel grasp of time pulls us closer to oblivion.

Paul Simon appeared as the musical guest on the Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Monday night to perform “Slip Slidin’ Away” in celebration of Colbert’s 60th birthday.
Simon, 82, staged a faithful, intimate rendition of “Slip Slidin’ Away” with just an acoustic guitar and a microphone. The song, which originally appeared on Simon’s 1977 compilation album Greatest Hits, Etc., has become a fan-favorite since its release. Watch Simon’s stirring performance of the track below.
Colbert opened the show by announcing his 60th birthday, joking, “I am now the same age as Ian McKellen when he was cast as Gandalf.” Before Simon’s closing performance, the show’s guest was longtime Colbert collaborator Steve Carrell. The two discussed their early days performing in Chicago, Carrell’s recent run in Uncle Vanya on Broadway, and they reprised their “Even Stevphen” segment from their days as correspondents on The Daily Show.

Stephen Colbert’s bandleader is giving the Late Show host the gift of music as he celebrates a milestone birthday.
Born in 1964, Colbert turns 60 today. To mark the occasion, Late Show Band bandleader Louis Cato posted a special performance of one Colbert’s favorite songs. As part of his weekly #CatoCover series on Instagram, Cato performed a rooftop acoustic rendition of Glen Campbell’s “Wichita Lineman.”
Colbert will be spending the landmark birthday at work, kicking off a week of new Late Show episodes. But he’ll be celebrating with old friends and heroes.
