Colbert Claims First Use of The Roots, Reminds Fallon
Stephen Colbert reminded Jimmy Fallon that he was the first late night host to use The Roots as his show's band during an episode of the podcast "Strike Force Five." Colbert shared a story about how he had pieces of guitarist Kirk Douglas' smashed guitar from their performance on "The Colbert Report" in 2008. Fallon also shared a story about Prince borrowing Douglas' guitar on his show, which ended with the guitar getting shattered. The podcast, featuring Fallon, Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel, Seth Meyers, and John Oliver, serves as a behind-the-scenes late night replacement during the ongoing strikes, with proceeds going to the affected staff.
