Ep 13: Strike Force Five Returns to Celebrate Stephen Colbert

Stephen Colbert· Guest0:00

I think one of the things I'm gonna miss most is, uh, young people- Yeah ... who, uh, are good at their jobs.

Seth Meyers· Host0:05

Yeah.

Stephen Colbert· Guest0:05

And who you met and they were first out of college or something like that. Like, I was talking to one of my producers the other day. He's worked for me for 21 years, and he started working for me when he was 21.

Seth Meyers· Host0:12

Mm-hmm.

Jimmy Kimmel· Host0:13

Jesus.

Stephen Colbert· Guest0:14

And he's great. He's great, but he has no idea what the rest of the business is like.

Seth Meyers· Host0:18

Um, I- He doesn't realize that this is not show business.

Jimmy Kimmel· Host0:20

Yeah.

Seth Meyers· Host0:21

Right.

Stephen Colbert· Guest0:21

That he's actually, he's spent 21 years in, almost entirely, but not completely, not in show business.

Seth Meyers· Host0:25

Stephen Colbert· Guest0:27

Seth Meyers· Host0:29

Jimmy Kimmel· Host0:46

That's right.

Stephen Colbert· Guest0:46

It's like, that's it. Like, he goes, "There, you, you only hang out with young people 'cause you have this job." [laughs] Like, you're not having dinner on Tuesday with- Yeah ... like, a bunch of 30-year-olds.

Jimmy Kimmel· Host0:53

Jimmy Kimmel· Host1:06

Jimmy Kimmel· Host1:13
