Jimmy Kimmel revealed that he was ready to retire from hosting 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' around the start of the Writers Guild of America (WGA) strike in May.
On Tuesday, Fallon, 48, Meyers, Colbert, 59, Oliver, 46, and Kimmel announced the launch of their limited series, which follows the hosts navigating “the Hollywood strikes and beyond."Presented by Mint Mobile and Diageo, the comedians will rotate to lead conversations in each of the expected 12 episodes. Profits will also go to all out-of-work staff who work on the late-night shows.
"I love writing. I love writing for TV. I love writing this show,” Fallon said on his show before the WGA strike went into effect. “I love that we get to come in with an idea for what we want to do every day and we get to work on it all afternoon and then I have the pleasure of coming out here.” “No one is entitled to a job in show business," he added. "But for those people who have a job, they are entitled to fair compensation. They are entitled to make a living. I think it's a very reasonable demand that's being set out by the guild. And I support those demands."
