While many of TV's live programs have halted production, late night is finding a loophole by presenting "at home" editions of their shows.
Various late-night talk shows have announced that they'll resume new programming with a twist as they conduct interviews over video chat, present musical performances remotely, and more. Among them is The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, which has already begun presenting special segments from home.
Aptly titled The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon: At Home Edition, approximately 10-minute segments will run ahead of the encore episodes filling the current schedule during the 11:35/10:35c telecast. The new mini-episodes are a way for the show to connect with fans and raise money for charities like Feeding America.
Jimmy Fallon invites Lin-Manuel Miranda to his #stayhome party via safe social distancing video chat in another home edition of The Tonight Show. Tonight, his daughters help with his monologue while Lin-Manuel performs Hamilton's "Dear Theodosia."
Jimmy will be highlighting a different charity every night that you can donate to and help those in need. Tonight's charity, Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS, assists those in the entertainment community in meeting coronavirus-related expenses.

The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon features hilarious highlights from the show, including comedy sketches, music parodies, celebrity interviews, ridiculous games, and, of course, Jimmy's Thank You Notes and hashtags! You'll also find behind the scenes videos and other great web exclusives.

Either way, we're glad you're with us. So stay hunkered down and please enjoy this episode of The Lather Show with Scrubbin' Colbath! #Colbert #LSSC #Monologue

The 47th annual Daytime Emmy Awards postponed due to coronavirus
The 47th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards have been postponed by the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS) in response to the current Coronavirus pandemic.
In a statement released by NATAS Chairman, Terry O'Reilly said, "Given our concerns over the COVID-19 pandemic, we have decided that we will not be staging the 47th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards in Pasadena this coming June. As there are so many unknowns right now with the flow of information changing on a daily, almost hourly, basis, it would simply be irresponsible to move forward with our annual celebration of excellence in daytime television at this time."
This news comes shortly after the announcement from NATAS that it would postpone its Technology & Engineering Emmy Awards at the NAB Convention in Las Vegas and its Sports Emmy Awards at Jazz at Lincoln Center in New York City due to the virus. The Daytime Emmy Awards honor excellence in daytime programming such as talk-shows, game shows and soaps.
