Coronavirus: All the TV Shows That Have Temporarily Stopped Production
The coronavirus has taken people out of the workplace all over the world, including in Hollywood. [...]
Late Night Shows
One of the first changes to the TV landscape when the pandemic broke out was the absence of late night shows, most of which are broadcast live or filmed the same day in front of a live studio audience. The shows all abruptly shut down last week, and while some hosts like Stephen Colbert have continued to put out content from quarantine, others have gone silent.
