Stephen Colbert will welcome his late-night peers to The Late Show next week as the long-running late-night program prepares to bow out for the final time on Thursday, May 21.
On the Monday, May 11 episode, Colbert will reunite the Strike Force Five, featuring Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel, John Oliver, and Seth Meyers. The group of late-night hosts previously came together for a podcast series amid the 2023 WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, which helped raise funds for their out-of-work writing staff.
