John Oliver's 'Last Week Tonight' was the first of the late night shows to come back. In his latest episode, Oliver said he was 'furious that it took the studios 148 days' to get a deal done.
CBS’s "The Late Show With Stephen Colbert," ABC’s "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" and NBC’s "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" were the first shows to leave the air when the writers strike began on May 2, and now will be among the first to return on Monday night.
"To be clear, this strike happened for good reasons. Our industry has seen its workers severely squeezed in recent years," Oliver said. "So, the writers guild went to strike and thankfully won. But, it took a lot of sacrifices from a lot of people to achieve that." The hosts haven’t been entirely idle. They teamed up for a podcast, "Strike Force Five," during the strike.
Actors walked off the job over many of the same issues as writers, and SAG-AFTRA leaders said they would look closely at the gains and compromises of the WGA’s deal, but emphasized that their demands would remain the same as they were when the strike began.
