Stephen Colbert has set an all-star lineup of late-night hosts as some of his final guests on \u201cThe Late Show,\u201d which will conclude on May 21 after being canceled by CBS last year.<\/p>\n
On May 11, Colbert will interview Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel, Seth Meyers and John Oliver. As the hosts of their own late-night talk shows on NBC, ABC and HBO, they worked with Colbert in 2023 to co-host a podcast called \u201cStrike Force Five\u201d that ran during the concurrent Writers Guild and SAG-AFTRA strikes. Proceeds from the podcast went towards supporting the crew members of their respective shows as they went without pay in accordance with the work stoppage.<\/p>\n
