Late-Night Hosts Team Up for Spotify Podcast to Support Striking Staffers
Late-night hosts are teaming up with Spotify for a podcast to support staffers who are out of work amid the ongoing Hollywood double strike.
Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel, Seth Meyers and John Oliver will host “Strike Force Five,” during which they will lift the veil on their ongoing discussions surrounding the complex and historic times facing the entertainment industry. The podcast, which is set to launch Aug. 30 across most major podcast platforms, will feature the hosts as rotating moderators as the five TV personalities navigate the strike that has shut down their late-night shows.
The idea for the collaboration began in May at the onset of the WGA strike when Colbert, Fallon, Kimmel, Meyers and Oliver began meeting weekly to discuss the strike’s spanning impact across the industry, injecting humor and levity into their conversations.
More to come …
