00:00 The Strike Force 3 Live Show has been cancelled.
00:08 Strike Force 3, a live event featuring Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy Fallon and Stephen Colbert,
00:12 was scheduled to occur on September 23rd in Las Vegas.
00:17 Proceeds from the show were going to go toward late night staff who have been out of work
00:21 due to the ongoing Hollywood strikes.
00:24 However, the show will no longer take place because Kimmel has tested positive for coronavirus
00:30 as Variety reports.
00:33 Kimmel took to Twitter to say "Well Las Vegas, I got COVID and sadly we need to cancel this
00:37 weekend's Strike Force 3 show.
00:39 I could never live with myself if I got my hometown friends sick."
00:43 The event, which would have seen the three late night hosts perform on stage together
00:46 for the first time ever, was inspired by the Strike Force 5 podcast that the three men
00:50 launched with Seth Meyers and John Oliver in August.
00:58 The podcast came to fruition due to the late night hosts wanting to help their staff members
01:02 who have been affected by the strikes.
01:07 When it debuted, it was the number one podcast on Spotify and Apple as Variety reports.
01:15 The Writers Guild of America has been on strike since May 2nd.
