SitcomsOnline Digest: Late Night Talk Prepares for Big Changes in 2023; The X Factor Potentially Returning to the US

  Welcome to SitcomsOnline Digest! It's the last day of 2022, but as we prepare to go into 2023, we have some news for you, including looking ahead at what could be an interesting year for late night talk, the return of a reality competition series, and more. Let's get going!

HIGHLIGHTS FROM SITCOMSONLINE.COM AND AROUND THE WEB

  • Late night talk shows will be going through some big changes in 2023, and it's not clear where things will end. (Deadline)
  • The X Factor may be returning to the US, but on NBC instead of Fox this time. (TVLine)
  • Barbara Walters has died at age 93. (CNN)
  • Although Hallmark is likely still the dominant one in the battle right now, a real schism is developing between Great American Family (we think that's what they're called now, at least, as they've changed their name more than once this year) and Hallmark for the battle of Christmas movies. (Deadline)
  • Desilu Studios hasn't been a real thing in over 50 years, but that didn't stop a man in California from scamming investors into investing in a fake shell company with that same name. (Deadline)
  • We lost several celebrities in 2022, and here is our recap. (SitcomsOnline)

WEEKLY PLANNER (DECEMBER 31 - JANUARY 6)

  • TruTV is having a marathon of Step by Step this weekend.
  • ALF joins the Laff lineup starting Monday.
  • It's hard to list them all here (because it's pretty much all of them), but many of the broadcast network series return with new episodes next week.
  • It wouldn't be a new year without a Twilight Zone marathon, and you have your choice of two: one on Syfy and the other on Decades.
