Strike Force Three Takes Over Vegas
Late-night luminaries Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy Fallon, and Stephen Colbert are gearing up for their first-ever live show in Las Vegas. The event, titled “Strike Force Three,” is set to captivate audiences on September 23 at 8 p.m. at Dolby Live in Park MGM. This trio constitutes three-fifths of the renowned “Strike Force Five” podcast crew, alongside John Oliver and Seth Meyers, as reported by the Hollywood Reporter.
A Podcast Origin Story: Strike Force Five
The inception of the “Strike Force Five Podcast” can be traced back to the interruption of the late-night hosts’ shows due to a writers’ strike in Hollywood. Determined to support their dedicated teams and crew members, the five prominent hosts joined forces to raise funds and ensure their staff received their monthly wages.
A Charitable Live Show
“Strike Force Three” isn’t just entertainment; it’s a charitable endeavor. Proceeds from this one-night-only event will provide assistance to the hosts’ colleagues who are currently unemployed, mirroring the philanthropic spirit of “Strike Force Five.”
A Historic Onstage Reunion
Colbert, Fallon, and Kimmel will share the stage for the very first time at Dolby Live in Las Vegas, promising a historic night of entertainment and laughter.
A Podcast that Soared
The quintet, consisting of Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy Fallon, Stephen Colbert, John Oliver, and Seth Meyers, embarked on the “Strike Force Five Podcast” journey. Debuting on August 30, the podcast quickly soared to the top spot on both Spotify and Apple Podcasts in the United States. With its first four episodes available on multiple platforms, the podcast offers an intimate glimpse into the hosts’ previously private conversations.
From Zoom to Podcast Success
“Strike Force Five” started as a limited series with a goal of at least 12 episodes, inspired by their regular Zoom sessions to address the challenges posed by the labor stoppage. These conversations transformed into a series of amusing and engaging discussions that listeners can now enjoy in their brand-new podcast.
Tickets for “Strike Force Three” will be available on Ticketmaster.com starting Friday, September 15 at 10 a.m. PT.
