Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel, Seth Meyers, and John Oliver are reuniting for a special video episode of their podcast Strike Force Five, the hosts announced during a joint appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on May 11, 2026.
The episode, set to be released on May 19, 2026, will be available on YouTube and major podcast platforms. Proceeds from the episode will benefit the Entertainment Community Fund, which supports workers in the entertainment industry.
The original Strike Force Five podcast ran for 12 episodes during the 2023 Writers Guild of America strike, with all proceeds going to out-of-work staff. The new episode marks the first time the hosts have recorded together since the strike ended.
During the announcement, the hosts joked about their busy schedules and the challenge of coordinating the reunion. Colbert noted that the episode will feature a mix of comedy and candid conversation about the state of late-night television.
