Key takeaways:
- The writers strike that shut down new shows began on May 2nd and ended with a three-year agreement with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers.
- Stephen Colbert, host of The Late Show, was the first to return to the airwaves on Monday.
- Donald Trump took to his Truth Social website to express his opinion of the shows, calling them “talentless, low rated CREEPS” and claiming they were a “major” campaign contribution to Democrats.
After a five-month hiatus, late-night television returned to the airwaves on Monday, and it seems at least one former president was watching. Donald Trump took to his Truth Social website to express his opinion of the shows, calling them “talentless, low rated CREEPS” and claiming they were a “major” campaign contribution to Democrats.
The writers strike that shut down new shows began on May 2nd, and on Tuesday, a three-year agreement with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers was approved by the writers guild negotiating committee, the WGA West Board and the WGA East Council. This allowed writers to go back to work, and the shows to start airing new episodes again.
Stephen Colbert, host of The Late Show, was the first to return to the airwaves on Monday. “It feels good to be back,” Colbert told the live audience at the Ed Sullivan Theater. “We’re back, baby!”
The writers strike was a difficult time for many in the industry, but it seems that the late-night shows are back and better than ever. Trump, however, was not impressed. “Now that the ‘strike’ is over, the talentless, low rated CREEPS of Late Night Television are back,” he wrote. “I knew there was a reason I didn’t want to see it settled – True LOSERS!!!” He concluded his post by urging people to “watch what is going on.”
