After 148 days of relentless protests, the writer’s strike finally seems to be coming to an end. The Writers Guild of America unanimously agreed to pull the plugs on the uprisings following the ratification of the tentative deal by the union members. Numerous shows and movies were at a standstill owing to the labor disputes. However, the sun seems to be shining on Hollywood again, with a line-up of entertainment offerings. Beginning with Arnold Schwarzenegger, who will kick-start the comeback of late-night shows after 22 weeks.

Ever since the strikes seized control of Hollywood, fans have been missing the fun interviews of their favorite entertainers and celebrities on talk shows. After a year, Schwarzenegger will be coming back to the late-night TV show on ABC with Jimmy Kimmel Live!

The Emmy award-winning show has been a regular stop for many A-listers in the industry, thanks to Jimmy Kimmel, who knows how to keep things interesting. After Conan O’Brien, the comedian has the longest stint of hosting late-night talk shows. Kimmel’s quick wit and effortless comedy maintained the buzz of the show for over two decades. And after signing a three-year- contract extension, the 55-year-old is back with the 21st season of Jimmy Kimmel Live, opening with Schwarzenegger, as per Deadline. 

The Austrian Oak, who is all ready to launch his upcoming book on 24 October this year, will be the first guest of Kimmel. The Commando star would talk about his book on parenting, Be Useful: Seven Tools For Life, on Monday, October 2, at 11:35 pm ET/PT on ABC. Apart from Schwarzenegger, there will also be some musical performances by Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit.
