The Late Night Landscape After the Writers Strike
The late-night talk show scene has been a barren wasteland for humor and hot takes since the 2023 Writers Strike put a pause on our nightly laughs. But the wait is over! Seth Meyers came back with a heartwarming tale about his kids, John Oliver caught us up on five months of missed news, and Jimmy Kimmel? Well, he decided to dive into the Kardashian pool for his grand return, and the splash was heard ’round the world.
“The late night talk show hosts are finally back on air after the 2023 Writers Strike came to an end.”
Jimmy Kimmel’s Kardashian Caper
In a stroke of comedic genius, Kimmel decided to mark his return by splicing up a moment from one of the most recent episodes of “The Kardashians.” The episode in question featured a heated argument between Kim and Kourtney Kardashian over Kim’s decision to collaborate with Dolce and Gabbana. But in Kimmel’s version, the sisters are actually feuding about his return to late-night TV.
“Kimmel incorporated The Kardashians into his late night return by splicing up a moment from one of the most recent episodes of the reality show which showcased a major fight between Kourtney and Kim.”
The result? Pure hilarity. The video, which you can find on Kimmel’s Instagram, had fans and even Kim Kardashian herself in stitches.
“Even Kim Kardashian thought that the edit was funny and posted the moment on her own Instagram story with a crying-laughing face.”

The Kardashian Feud: More Than Just Dolce Drama
While Kimmel’s spoof was all in good fun, it touched on a real issue. The Kardashian sisters have been at odds for a while now, and it’s not just about a fashion collaboration. Both have hinted that the tension goes deeper, and fans are eager to see how it all unfolds.
“Both parties have admitted that the problems stem from something deeper than the Dolce collaboration, and resentment is still being carried.”
Kim’s Sense of Humor: A Saving Grace?
Despite the ongoing family drama, Kim’s reaction to Kimmel’s spoof shows she can still take a joke. She’s no stranger to self-deprecating humor, having hosted SNL and frequently poking fun at herself on her own show.
“The Skims mogul has showcased her sense of humor in the past, by hosting SNL and making jokes at her own expense, even sneaking in her self-deprecating humor onto her reality series.”
Could this lighthearted moment be the catalyst for the sisters to finally bury the hatchet? Only time will tell.
Where to Catch All the Action
For those who want to keep up with the Kardashian drama, new episodes air on Thursdays for Hulu subscribers. And if you’re more into late-night laughs, Jimmy Kimmel Live! is available to stream with a Disney+ subscription.
“You can catch up on all the Dolce drama between Kim and Kourtney Kardashian on Season 4 of The Kardashians, which airs new episodes on Thursdays for Hulu subscribers.”
So, whether you’re Team Late Night or Team Kardashian, there’s plenty of drama and laughs to go around. Welcome back to the world of late-night TV; we’ve missed you!
