Talk shows coming back after Hollywood writers' strike ends

Late-night talk shows, a mainstay of the US TV schedule, will be back on the air within a week, hosts said Wednesday, after leaders of the Writers Guild of America called off a paralyzing strike.

The densely written shows — fronted by Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel, Seth Myers and John Oliver — have been a glaring absence since writers downed pens in May over demands for better pay and guarantees against the threat from artificial intelligence.
