Now, we have another reason to celebrate as five of our favorite Late-Night hosts – Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel, Seth Meyers, and John Oliver – have come together to launch a podcast that will raise funds for strike-impacted workers. Get ready for the sensational Spotify podcast, “Strike Force Five!”
This exciting venture, aptly titled “Strike Force Five,” is set to release at least 12 episodes, with the first one hitting your ears on Wednesday, August 30. What makes this podcast even more special is that all five hosts will participate in every episode, taking turns leading the lively conversations. Their witty banter and insightful discussions are undoubtedly going to keep us entertained while supporting a great cause.
But it doesn’t stop there. These late-night legends understand the importance of lending a helping hand to those who have been affected by the strikes. That’s why all proceeds from the podcast will go directly to the out-of-work staff from their respective shows. It’s inspiring to see their commitment to supporting their teams who have been impacted by these challenging times.
What’s interesting is how this incredible initiative came to life. The idea was born out of weekly Zoom calls that these Late-Night hosts have been having since the beginning of the WGA strike in May. During this time, they discovered the power of collaboration, not only in the world of comedy but also in making a positive difference in people’s lives.
The bond between these hosts is undeniable. As the strikes dragged on during the summer, we witnessed John Oliver and Seth Meyers perform a string of sold-out nights of stand-up comedy together. And let’s not forget Oliver’s appearance on Meyers’ other strike-time podcast, “Family Trips With the Meyers Brothers,” where they shared heartwarming stories of their family camping adventures.
The team behind “Strike Force Five” has some incredible supporters on board. Ryan Reynolds’ Mint Mobile and Diageo, the parent company of outstanding brands like Aviation American Gin, Bulleit Frontier Whiskey, Casamigos, and Ketel One Vodka, are the co-presenting sponsors of this exciting podcast. With their support, this remarkable project is sure to reach even greater heights.
“Strike Force Five” will find its home on Spotify’s Megaphone, and Spotify will exclusively handle the sales partnership for the podcast. We can all look forward to enjoying the engaging conversations, laughter, and camaraderie that these late-night hosts share while doing their part to make a difference in the lives of those affected.
