Late-night hosts Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Fallon, John Oliver, Jimmy Kimmel and Seth Meyers combine forces on a podcast to benefit their strike-affected staffers.
The five major late-night show hosts are banding together to financially help out their currently unemployed staffers who have been on strike since the onset of the writers’ strike in May.
Jimmy Fallon, John Oliver, Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel and Seth Meyers are Voltron-ing together for the Spotify limited podcast “Strike Force Five.” The idea for the program, which premieres Wednesday, came after the group decided to meet every week as the writers’ strike got underway and realized that their conversations seemed compelling and entertaining.
The series is scheduled to have a 12-episode run, with each member of the cohort participating in every episode. The host of each episode rotates among the comedians.
