Five late-night TV hosts — Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel, Seth Meyers, and John Oliver — have teamed up for a limited-series podcast with Spotify, and social media is mocking the series.
“Late night group therapy for libs actually becomes group therapy for libs,” Stephen Miller, contributing editor for the Spectator, said on X, formerly known as Twitter.

The video podcast Strike Force Five was launched on Wednesday in an effort to raise money for their striking writing staff amid the Writers Guild of America strike that started on May 2.
“This past May, the hosts of five major late-night talk shows had an idea: to meet every week to discuss the complexities behind the ongoing Hollywood strikes. What ensued was a series of hilarious and compelling conversations,” Spotify said in a press release promoting the podcast.
“Fans can listen in on these once-private chats,” it added.
A social media user mocked the “unfunny middle aged old men.”
“Wow, I can’t wait to hear from unfunny middle aged old men who gained popularity on non-PC humor to build their careers and then jumped on the politically correct bandwagon after they reached the top,” she wrote.

A Mediaite writer called it “the worst idea ever conceived.”
NBC, Fallon, and Meyers had pledged in May to pay their staffers for three weeks during the strike. The strike has continued now, going into September.
