This week's schedule
With most programs on hiatus for the Memorial Day holiday and the week following, most programs are in encore mode; look for rebroadcasts of performances by Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats (The Late Show with Stephen Colbert) and Childish Gambino (Saturday Night Live), among others. A highly notable exception to the week's reruns is a new episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show on Tuesday, featuring Brandi Carlile.
