Several late-night talk shows won't be airing new episodes this week, as hosts like Jimmy Fallon and Stephen Colbert will get a few days off to focus on other responsibilities that don't involve entertaining audiences in the studio and interviewing celebrity guests. Although there will barely be any new content on late-night TV in the last week of May, rest assured that some of the best guest appearances and live performances from the past month will air again for those who have recently missed an episode or two of their favorite talk shows. Talents like Sofía Vergara, Orlando Bloom, Glen Powell and Anne Hathaway will be sitting on the couch in the next few days, sharing all about their recent onscreen projects, including The Idea of You and Hit Man. A few artists whose performances will air a second time are St. Vincent, Doja Cat, Incubus, and Crowded House.

It is also important to note that The Daily Show will not be on TV this week, but will be back for new episodes starting June 3, 2024. The Comedy Central program recently addressed the hypocrisy of cancel culture and Trump's contribution to this phenomenon in a raved about episode. Given that the show hosted by Jon Stewart will return soon, viewers will only have to wait a couple of days to tune in late at night for more satirical commentary.

In case you are wondering which reruns will air from Monday to Friday and which guests and musicians are expected to show up, here is a detailed guide to help you. Check out below who will be on TV and when you can catch up on episodes you might've missed.
