Strike Force Five Reunion Boosts Colbert’s Late Show to Season-High Ratings

Stephen Colbert’s Late Show posted a season-to-date ratings high with a Strike Force Five reunion that drew 2.819 million total viewers and 231,000 adults 18-49. It marked the first time Colbert, Fallon, Kimmel, Meyers, and Oliver appeared together on a single late-night show, and the group even taped a new Strike Force Five podcast episode after the taping. With Kimmel and Fallon airing repeats that night, Colbert led the time slot, and online clips—plus a YouTube upload with about 3.2 million views—are expected to lift the total audience further with delayed viewing.
