Late-Night Returns! Donald Trump, Taylor Swift/Travis Kelce & More

Returning late-night hosts Jimmy Fallon, Stephen Colbert, Seth Meyers & Jimmy Kimmel tackled Donald Trump, Taylor Swift/Travis Kelce & more.

Donald Trump, Taylor Swift/Travis Kelce, Donald Trump, the Barbie–Oppenheimer double feature "Barbenheimer," Donald Trump, attempts to impeach President Joe Biden, Donald Trump, Washington, D.C. hearings on aliens, Donald Trump, the Canadian wildfires, Donald Trump, GOP infighting, Donald Trump, U2 opening the new Sphere concert venue in Las Vegas, Donald Trump, ABC's The Golden Bachelor, Donald Trump… and lots more (including a little bit on Donald Trump). After nearly 150 days on strike thanks to the AMPTP dragging its heels and not doing right by the WGA from the jump, Jimmy Fallon & NBC's The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, Stephen Colbert & CBS' The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Seth Meyers & NBC' Late Night with Seth Meyers, and Jimmy Kimmel & ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live! returned to our screens on Monday night – and they had a lot to say and a lot of time to make up for. But it wasn't just about playing catch-up, with the late-night hosts also addressing the writers' strike, the WGA, and the effort by the union to do right by writers today and in the future.

In addition to their respective monologues, Colbert kicked things off with a nod to Ernest Hemingway's "The Old Man and the Sea" as he shows how he returned to shore to make it back for the show. In addition, Fallon pulled off one of those "Tiny Songs" to cover what the past few months have been like. Interestingly, Fallon did not address the claims made against him and NBC's long-running late-night series in an article last month from Rolling Stone that included accusations of a toxic workplace environment. Also, a quick reminder that Comedy Central's The Daily Show returns with guest hosts the week of October 16th (with a new permanent host set to take over in 2024) – now, here's a look at what the late-night hosts had to say about their respective returns to their shows, what's gone down over the past five months since they've been on the air, and more (including what's on tap for the rest of the week):
