The five hosts of Strike Force Five—Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel, Seth Meyers, and John Oliver—reunited on May 11 for a group appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, followed by a special podcast episode on May 13 to mark the conclusion of the series.
On The Breakfast Club, Jess Hilarious recalled the podcast's origin, noting that "Colbert, Kimmel, and a bunch of the other late night talk show hosts got together. They call themselves the Strike Force Five." She highlighted that the project was originally "created this, um, this podcast because they were teaming up together to st" support their staff during the labor dispute.
The reunion serves as a final bow for the collaboration. While initial reception was rooted in the necessity of the WGA strike, this latest drop is purely celebratory. It remains to be seen if this marks the end of their collective venture or if the chemistry forged during the shutdown will lead to future, non-televised projects.
