Jimmy Kimmel, Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Fallon, John Oliver and Seth Meyers have launched a new podcast to support their out-of-work writing staff.
Late-night shows were the first to go dark as a result of the Writers Guild of America strike in May.
According to a Spotify press release, "Strike Force Five" began as private meetings between the talk show hosts to discuss the strikes. "Their idea was to meet up every week to discuss the serious issues a work stoppage creates," the press release stated. "What happened instead was was a series of hilarious and compelling conversations."
The proceeds from the new podcast will go to out-of-work writing staff from the hosts' respective shows, including, "The Late Show With Stephen Colbert," "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon," "Jimmy Kimmel Live," "Late Night With Seth Meyers," and "Last Week Tonight with John Oliver." Seth Meyers, Jimmy Kimmel, John Oliver, Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Fallon appear in this image shared on the Instagram account for the new podcast"Strike Force Five."
