If you've been missing late-night talk shows in the US due to the strikes, you might enjoy Jimmy Kimmel, Seth Myers, Jimmy Fallon, John Oliver, and Stephen Colbert on the "Strike Force Five" podcast. The money they raise running ads on the podcast goes to support the people who make their TV shows during the strike. It's been a laugh to hear them swap stories. #JimmyKimmel #StephenColbert #SethMyers #JohnOliver #JimmyFallon

@MHowell
🥥 Thank YOU, M, for the Strike Force Five #podcast tip!
Also, too, Eye concur with your positive opinion about #JohnOliver's Last Week Tonight.
Cheers and much love. 🥥

🥥 With the #SAGAFTRA strike putting so many shows on hiatus, I'm watching #JohnOliver's Last Week Tonight from its beginning on HBO in April 2014.
It's hard not to be amazed at the quality of the show right out of the gate, and at how little it's changed from the very first episode 10 seasons ago. 🥥

What happens when you combine the comedic talents of Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy Fallon, John Oliver and Seth Meyers? You get “Strike Force Five,” a podcast that launched earlier this week to benefit their out-of-work staff. The Associated Press has more, including some wonderfully weird factoids about the hosts: https://flip.it/QRIRBT

Late night TV hosts team up for a new podcast amid the writers' strike

"The biggest names in late night have turned their private group chat into a Spotify podcast, Strike Force Five. All the proceeds will go to support their staff during the writers' strike."

#USAToday has a story on #Subway being sold that literally calls Subway a family owned business (it may be run by a family but it's business model is based on exploiting franchisees) that sounds like a mom and pop shop.

Do yourself a favor and watch #JohnOliver's #LastWeekTonight episode on Subway.

That company is evil and the question for #RoarkCapital, the group that bought it, should be are they going to keep it evil or make it more evil.

TODAY IN QUEER TV HISTORY

THE DAILY SHOW - 6/27/2013, Comedy Central

The previous day, the US Supreme Court had struck down the Defense of Marriage Act and required the federal government to recognize states' same-sex marriages. Now, guest host John Oliver looks at prominent Republicans' anger over the ruling. This is a clip from a longer segment.

Little has changed since then: The Republican party has continued to condemn this ruling (in United States v. Windsor) and to blast a later SCOTUS ruling that also favored marriage equality (in Obergefell v. Hodges). The party's most recent presidential-year platform demanded the appointment of judges who would roll back our basic rights, and some current Supreme Court justices have indicated an eagerness to do so.

TODAY IN QUEER TV HISTORY

THE DAILY SHOW - 6/26/2013, Comedy Central

The US Supreme Court's first marriage equality ruling happened today in 2013.

Here's how John Oliver and Samantha Bee covered it for THE DAILY SHOW, a comedy series that managed to contextualize it with other news of the week (notably the SCOTUS ruling gutting the Voting Rights Act) in ways that some "real" news shows missed.
