Late-night staffs should see a few more dollars in their pockets after three of the major hosts are planning a Las Vegas extravaganza.
Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Fallon and Jimmy Kimmel have teamed up for a live show on Saturday September 23.
Strike Force Five Three – the title is styled with the “five” crossed out, a play on the name of the podcast hosted by the trio as well as Seth Meyers and John Oliver – will take place at Dolby Live at Park MGM. Meyers and Oliver will not be appearing. The pair have separately been doing their own stand-up shows over the summer and this month.

Oliver joked, “I’m not allowed back in Vegas until I’m cleared of all charges”. Meyers added, “I will be in Vegas but unable to attend as I gotta play my slots.”
The Vegas show marks the first time that Colbert, Fallon and Kimmel will perform on stage together.
Proceeds from the show will go to out-of-work staffs from the late-night shows. Tickets go on sale on Friday September 15.
Strike Force Five is in its fourth episode; the series, which debuted at the top of Spotify’s podcast charts has seen Kimmel talk about potentially retiring, a failed vasectomy and how Batman threatened to murder him, Colbert discussing how his mother used to date a dictator, and the hosts’ best awards screw ups.
