It's going to be a light week on the talk show circuit, with some of the most popular shows off the air altogether. The schedule doesn't have its usual variety and saturation, but it still has some gems to keep an eye on. It will also show you which nights you can get to bed early or which mornings you can take an extra-long breakfast without missing anything on TV.

The schedule below includes the major late-night talk shows and the major daytime talk shows for the week of April 25. You can plan ahead to see the guests and conversations you're most interested in and even follow your favorite stars on a press tour across multiple shows. Equally important – you can skip uneventful episodes and re-runs if you're not interested. Sadly, this week may include a lot of skipping, depending on which shows you're most invested in.

Once again this week The Late Show with Stephen Colbert is showing re-runs from Monday to Friday. Other shows have shortened schedules with one or two nights of re-runs planned, and some have whole broadcasts pre-empted – notably The Talk on Tuesday and Wednesday. To see the full schedule for yourself, scroll on.

The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon:

Monday, April 25 – Chrissy Teigen, Cristin Milioti, Soccer Mommy

Fallon has a wide spread this week – perhaps with a slight emphasis on musicians over other entertainers. Meanwhile, Seth Meyers has some hotly-anticipated guests in the comic book adaptation realm, but Friday's episode will be a re-run from last week.

CBS Late-Night

The Late Show with Stephen Colbert:

Monday, April 25 – RE-RUN: Hannah Gadsby, Sandra Bullock, Buffalo Nichols

Colbert is off again this week, but CBS is filling his time slot with some of the best episodes of the last month. Corden has one re-run scheduled for Friday, but other than that it will be a big week on The Late Late Show.

Jimmy Kimmel Live!

Monday, April 25 – Bill Hader, Mo Amer
Tuesday, April 26 – Rebel Wilson, Randy Rainbow
Wednesday, April 27 – Miles Teller, Rhea Seehorn, the B-52's

ABC's late-night show, Jimmy Kimmel Live! has only released its schedule for Monday through Wednesday, but it's not clear what the plan is for the other two nights.

Tuesday, April 26 – Gary Janetti, Margaret Josephs

Thursday, April 28 – Oscar Isaac, Kiernan Shipka

Andy Cohen has quite a few interesting conversations coming up this week. Perhaps most notably to general audiences is his interview with Oscar Isaac. Isaac has been frank about his desire for better LGBTQ+ representation in his blockbuster work, and Cohen may be just the right person to ask some provocative questions on that front.
