Late-Night and Daytime TV Talk Show Lineups: Who’s on This Week (March 21)

Talk show fans have a lot to look forward in the week of March 21, 2022. From daytime roundtables to late night comedy shows, this week has some big guests to look forward to. Read on for the full schedule and set your DVR accordingly.

As always, this week’s talk shows will help you keep your finger on the pulse in all walks of life. Right now the political situation around the globe is understandably dominating the conversation, and there are some experts you may want to look out for this week for unique insight. At the same time, the entertainment industry is buzzing about award show season. If neither of those topics interest you, you can still find some segments coming up about lifestyle, fashion, preparing for summer and everything in between.

Talk show lineups are always subject to change at the last minute, but knowing what’s coming is a great start. Also, keep in mind that The Daily Show with Trevor Noah is being pre-empted this week, so unfortunately Comedy Central will be out of the running. Other than that, here is the full schedule for this week’s talk shows.
