Even though more than 15 inches of snow has fallen in Central Park, late-night is toughing it out.
The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Late Night with Seth Meyers and The Daily Show aren’t letting a blizzard get in the way of their tapings today as Deadline understands all four shows will shoot this afternoon.
This comes despite it being one of the heaviest storms in a decade and New Yorkers receiving an emergency travel alert Sunday night.
Seemingly the only small knock on for late-night is a change in guest booking for The Late Show, which was set to have Hamnet director Chloé Zhao on. She will be replaced by Emma Thompson taking the Colbert Questionert. Otherwise, the CBS show will feature Ray Romano and Cory Wong sitting in with Louis Cato and the Great Big Joy Machine.
Colbert and his team should wrap up warm because he’s got a big week with a live broadcast tomorrow night following coverage of the State of the Union
The news is particularly positive for NBC, which is set to have The Tonight Show and Late Night back after a few weeks off as a result of the Winter Olympics.
The Tonight Show will host Tracy Morgan, promoting his new series The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins, Scream star Neve Campbell, Dallas Mavericks star Cooper Flagg and a musical performance from TWICE.
Late Night has Last Week Tonight host John Oliver and SNL star Ben Marshall on.

The Daily Show, which is hosted by Jon Stewart on Mondays, also returns. Stewart will have A. Mechele Dickerson, a University of Texas School of Law professor and author of The Middle-Class New Deal: Restoring Upward Mobility and the American Dream as a guest with Desi Lydic hosting for the rest of the week.
For now, these shows are also expected to have a studio audience, but we’ll update this story if that changes.
It comes after Broadway went dark yesterday as a result of the storm. ABC daytime talk shows The View and Live with Kelly & Mark also proceeded with New York-shot shows today, but they did so without a studio audience and Whoopi Goldberg appeared remotely as a result of being snowed in.
Late last night, New Yorkers received an emergency alert last night, informing them that there’s a driving ban. “Mayor Mamdani has issued a State of Emergency for New York City; a TRAVEL BAN is in effect BEGINNING AT 9pm due to dangerous blizzard conditions. All NON-ESSENTIAL VEHICLES are RESTRICTED from NYC roads until 12pm on 2/23. Vehicles are only permitted for essential and emergency travel,” the text noted.
But weather conditions are expected to improve over the course of the day with snow set to melt relatively quickly according to the Weather Prediction Center.
Jimmy Kimmel Live!, which is filmed in Los Angeles, is obviously also unaffected.
