On Monday, May 11, Colbert welcomed guests Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy Fallon, Seth Meyers and John Oliver for a joint interview as The Late Show with Stephen Colbert approaches its final episodes.

The crew, which previously made up the Strike Force Five for a limited podcast amid the 2023 WGA strike, helped celebrate Colbert's final weeks at the Ed Sullivan Theater before its final air date on May 21. The group said they could record an "emergency" episode of Strike Force Five to support Colbert after the show. The episode will be released on Wednesday, May 13.

Colbert later asked the group of hosts to make a case for late night television shows to continue to exist, which resulted in introspective responses on the importance of their shows. Kimmel suggested that the combined numbers of everyone who watches their shows on TV and online would surpass the audience Johnny Carson had.

"Why should you have to defend late night? I mean, why should that question even be asked?" Kimmel said. "You don't hear like Ryan Seacrest get asked that question about the Wheel of Fortune."

"I would actually like to hear Ryan Seacrest defend Wheel of Fortune," Oliver quipped.

“I would actually like to hear Ryan Seacrest defend Wheel of Fortune,” Oliver quipped. Must not like Vanna White.

If Kash Patel got his life in order and could function like an adult, then I think all of these hosts would be arrested.
