All proceeds generated by the podcast will go to out-of-work staff from each of the hosts' shows.
The creme de la creme of late night is teaming up for a good cause while their shows remain on hold due to the ongoing writers' strike.
The podcast will share "once-private chats" held between the late-night hosts, who began meeting weekly in May after the WGA strike began to discuss "the complexities behind the ongoing Hollywood strikes," according to Spotify's announcement. On the eve of the writers' strike in early May, Colbert addressed the possibility of a strike in his opening monologue when he featured a picture of all his writers, saying the show wouldn't happen without them.
