BBC News - Hollywood writers in deal to end US studio strike.

Hopefully things should start getting back to normal with at least some entertainment productions. I'd imagine the first shows to return to air given their topical comedy segments would be the late night talk shows as they were the first to go dark when the strike started in May. Given that a lot has happened in the news in the US since the strikes started, not least the various criminal indictments against a certain big orange idiot ex-PoTUS, they've got quite a lot to catch up on!
Indeed, the hosts of these shows Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel, Seth Meyers and John Oliver recently started a weekly podcast series called "Strike Force Five" to support their writers and production staff, out of work because of the strike, with money coming in from corporate sponsors.
