Irish Americans Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Fallon have teamed up with Jimmy Kimmel, Seth Meyers, and John Oliver for the limited Spotify podcast series "Strike Force Five."
Announcing the new podcast on August 29, Spotify said that in May, the hosts of five major late-night talk shows in the US had an idea: to meet every week to discuss the complexities behind the ongoing Hollywood strikes.
What ensued was a series of hilarious and compelling conversations.
Now, Colbert, Fallon, Kimmel, Meyers, and Oliver have teamed up with Spotify for an all-new limited-series podcast, "Strike Force Five," so fans can listen in on these once-private chats.
The hosts, Spotify says, bring their unique insights, opinions, and humor to the show as they navigate the Hollywood strikes and beyond.
Launching August 30 and available across most major podcast platforms, the "Strike Force Five" series will run for at least twelve episodes, with each host serving as a rotating moderator.
