This Will Have Trump Rage Posting For Sure
/The worst-kept secret in late-night might have just been spilled in a studio audience Q&A.
Multiple sources tell LateNighter that Stephen Colbert is planning a massive "Avengers-level" reunion for his final week at The Late Show. While CBS remains tight-lipped and has yet to officially confirm the booking, the news leaked from a fellow host’s own stage.
During an audience Q&A session on Wednesday, Seth Meyers reportedly let it slip that he, along with Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel, and John Oliver, are all heading to the Ed Sullivan Theater to join Colbert jointly on Monday, May 11.
If the report holds, this would mark a rare televised reunion of the group that formed the Strike Force Five podcast during the 2023 writers' strike. While the hosts have made individual cameos on each other's programs over the years, a simultaneous sit-down with all five titans of the genre is virtually unprecedented in the post-Carson era.
Colbert’s departure marks the end of an era for CBS, and bringing in his direct competitors for a final "summit" suggests the swan song will be more of a celebration of the medium than a standard talk-show exit.
For those keeping track of the late-night wars, this move signals a definitive "white flag" in favor of camaraderie. Seeing the "Jimmys," Seth, and John sharing the same desk with Stephen is the kind of viral moment CBS needs to cap off Colbert’s historic run.
Neither CBS nor The Late Show reps have commented on the "Meyers Slip," but if you're a fan of late-night history, you might want to clear your DVR for Monday night.
Stay tuned.
