Strike Force Five reassembled on Monday's "The Late Show With Stephen Colbert."
Stephen Colbert joined "Late Night" host Seth Meyers, "Last Week Tonight" host John Oliver, "Live!" host Jimmy Kimmel and "The Tonight Show" host Jimmy Fallon – aka the late-night podcast crew, Strike Force Five – for the final time before Colbert's last show on May 21.
Colbert introduced the crew as "four of my best television friends and co-hosts of the awards-ignored podcast," who immediately started the pandemonium onstage. Sitting on the couch, Kimmel explained the group's Writers Guild of America 2023 strike origin story.
"Strike Force Five is and always will be a group of five individuals who went on strike along with their writers, who were paying their writers," Kimmel said. "So we did a podcast that paid a tiny portion of that. We did 12 episodes."
Colbert decreed the podcast group would do "an emergency episode" directly after the show.
