Late-night hosts join forces for a podcast pitch, but end up with a hilarious live roast.
Five Late-Night Comedy Hosts Join Forces for a Podcast
Comedians Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy Fallon, Stephen Colbert, John Oliver, and Seth Meyers have come together to create a new podcast called “Strike Force Five.” With their shows on hold due to the ongoing writers and actors strike, the hosts decided to collaborate and support their staff members who are currently out of work.
“MAJOR LIFE UPDATE – for the remainder of the strike @StephenAtHome, @JimmyFallon, @SethMeyers, @IamJohnOliver & I are joining forces for a new podcast called @StrikeForceFive. Hear the first episode tomorrow 8/30. ALL proceeds (thanks to @Casamigos and @MintMobile) go to support our out of work staffs. Listen now — https://bit.ly/44tflxq @SpotifyPodcasts,” Kimmel shared via X.
Meyers responded with a joke, saying, “I had NO idea this was being recorded…” Fallon added, “Late night unite! Your new favorite podcast Strike Force Five premieres tomorrow with all of our proceeds going to staff and crew affected by the ongoing writers strike. Check it out on Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts.”

While the hosts are excited about their new venture, critics have expressed skepticism. Some believe that the podcast will simply echo their previous content, focusing on topics like Trump and DeSantis. Others question the need for their return, as they haven’t been on the air for months.
“Five insufferable one-trick ponies doing a podcast to echo each other on Trump and DeSantis and anyone who doesn’t have a D next to their name. And if you forgot these guys haven’t been on the air for months, you’re not alone.” – Joe Concha
Despite the criticism, the hosts are determined to support their staff members and provide entertainment during the strike. Whether you’re a fan or a skeptic, the ”Strike Force Five” podcast is sure to make waves in the late-night comedy world.

“Can’t wait for the first episode about Trump’s mugshot and how bad the new strain of covid is,” @thefirstontv added.
“It is super cringe that they coordinated to all sit in very ‘regular person’ rooms, as though they don’t all have home offices that clearly illustrate their wealth and success. Just be you, you d*** phonies,” Noam Blum said.
“They have banished all the late night hosts to a podcast. Nature is healing.” – Ashley St. Clair
“Late night group therapy for libs actually becomes group therapy for libs,” Stephen L. Miller replied. “Breaking Points” cohost Saagar Enjeti took a slightly different approach, saying, “I am begging studio execs to cave so we can end this abomination.”
