The writers’ strike is over and it’s a race back to the airwaves. Bill Maher might have been the first one out of the gate to announce the return of his show, “Real Time,” to HBO this Friday night, but late night talk show hosts were not far behind.

Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy Fallon, Stephen Colbert, Seth Meyers and John Oliver, who have been co-hosting the podcast “Strike Force Five” during the strike, announced most of them would be returning to TV (and all other devices) on Monday. Oliver, however will return on Sunday.

CBS has yet to name a replacement for James Corden’s “Late Late Show.” There’s also been no word on the fate of Comedy Central’s long-running “The Daily Show.”
