As the W.G.A. strike ends, so does the chatty, chops-busting podcast from Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel, John Oliver, Jimmy Fallon, and Seth Meyers. What, if anything, did it teach us?
, though not a pandemic-level crisis, have been a public reckoning with inequality and the economics of the digital age, and they resulted in the near-total suspension of production of new TV and movies. Just by existing, “Strike Force Five” helped us contend with that in a useful way.
Since it’s a podcast, not network television, Colbert slings cheerful F-bombs, Kimmel doesn’t have to interview stars of various Disney projects, and Oliver revels in the freedom of being able “to say what you think is true, not what you are told is legally defensible.” There’s an element of late-night-geek fun—probably intentionally so—as we hear them compare notes on sets, opening sequences, and misguided ideas.
There’s some reading-between-the-bonhomie intrigue, too—much of it involving Fallon. The podcast doesn’t address the September 7ththat depicts him as an unkind leader with an unhappy staff. But even aside from that, Fallon, despite the Strike Force’s five-way jollity, seems like the group’s distractible odd man out. Toward the end of the second episode, Colbert, laughing, reveals that Fallon has just texted them all, saying that he wants to wrap it up.
