Five late-night comedy hosts announced plans for a joint podcast, and got a live roast in return.
Comedians Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy Fallon, Stephen Colbert, John Oliver, and Seth Meyers – whose shows are on a forced sabbatical due to the ongoing writers and actors strike in Hollywood – announced plans for &#8220;Strike Force Five.&#8221; The joint effort is expected to last at least through the remainder of the strike and proceeds will go to support their staffers while they are out of work.
&#8220;MAJOR LIFE UPDATE &#8211; for the remainder of the strike @StephenAtHome, @JimmyFallon, @SethMeyers, @IamJohnOliver &amp; 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.

But critics weren&#8217;t so sure that anyone really needed them to come back.
&#8220;Five insufferable one-trick ponies doing a podcast to echo each other on Trump and DeSantis and anyone who doesn&#8217;t have a D next to their name. And if you forgot these guys haven&#8217;t been on the air for months, you&#8217;re not alone,&#8221; Joe Concha said in a post on X.

&#8220;It is super cringe that they coordinated to all sit in very &#8216;regular person&#8217; rooms, as though they don’t all have home offices that clearly illustrate their wealth and success.
