Kimmel, Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Fallon, Seth Meyers and John Oliver have launched the first episode of the Spotify podcast, which was named after their text chain.
It was an hour of random stories and jokes about the strike including how Stephen Colbert’s mother dated a Nicaraguan dictator, lawsuits involving their shows (hello Viacom and Google), how many of the hosts wanted to join the clergy and how Colbert and Kimmel were both in the running to be the announcer for Magic Johnson’s 1998 talkshow The Magic Hour. “Would it be fair to say that in 2008 the hosts didn’t get along quite as well as we do?,” asked Oliver. “I know it’s an incredibly low bar but that was a sequence of dying marriages that they were engaged in.” Kimmel was on air during the last writers strike, alongside David Letterman, Jay Leno, Conan O’Brien and Craig Ferguson.
