The late night talk shows are running reruns. SNL will be running reruns. Soap operas will get affected next. After that, new seasons of shows will get affected. If the strike goes on long enough, the streaming services will be short on new content.
TV hosts Jimmy Fallon and Stephen Colbert, whose shows are among the first to be affected by the writers’ strike, voice support for the Writers Guild of America.
Colbert, Fallon, Kimmel and Meyers have already openly agreed to pause production on their shows, which will revert to reruns on Tuesday until further notice. Maher and Oliver’s shows will go dark immediately, with no reruns scheduled.
Meanwhile, “Saturday Night Live” will air repeats until further notice, NBC confirmed. The show originally had three episodes scheduled to air this month, including one this week with former cast member Pete Davidson as host.
If a strike stretches out for a prolonged period, viewers could next see soap operas, TV series and movie productions affected as the reserve of completed scripts runs low.
