Watch Jimmy Fallon’s Fellow Late-Night Hosts Lovingly Mock Him During Trivia About Their Wives (Exclusive)

Jimmy Fallon’s fellow late-night hosts help him master the art of trivia in this week’s episode Strike Group Five.

In PEOPLE’s exclusive sneak peek of the new podcast episode, Fallon asks his co-hosts Jimmy Kimmel, John Oliver, Seth Meyers and Stephen Colbert a series of trivia questions about their marriages — but the game quickly turns into a round of “roast the host” instead.

“Jimmy Kimmel, I talked to Molly [McNearney], your wife,” Fallon, 48, begins. “So what do you think her response was? Do you remember when you fell in love?”

“When she fell in love or when I in love?” asks Kimmel, 55.

Fallon admits that the game’s setup is “a little confusing” and explains, “I think it’s when your to fall in love.”

After he said that, Last Week Tonight with John Oliver the presenter, 46, took the opportunity to lightly mock him. “You wrote these questions so badly, Jimmy,” he teases me. “You can’t say ‘I think’. That’s your fucking question!”

Then Fallon gets in on the fun and jokes, “My lawyer is pointing at me saying, ‘Say, I’m thinking.'”

Oliver notes that this is the “exact conversation” he had with his wife, Kate Norley, the other night about Fallon’s trivia questions. Reconstructing their discussion, Oliver adds, “‘What is he thinking?’ ‘I don’t know, man. Get inside his head. It’s a happier place.'”

Meyers, 49, chimes in with a smile: “I like that we answer every question by putting Jimmy [Fallon] in place. ‘But what to do your mean?'”

“You asked the question!” Oliver emphasizes with a laugh.

“Aren’t you nominated for an Emmy for Best Game Show Host?” Kimmel is joking Tonight’s show host, who was nominated for a Primetime Emmy in the Outstanding Game Show category in July for his game show That’s my jam.

All five hosts burst into laughter when Fallon then admitted that he was clearly not a replacement for the late-night writers amid the ongoing Hollywood strikes.

“I need segment producers and writers so badly,” sighs Fallon. “I miss them all so much.”

Strike Group Fivewhich launched on Spotify and other podcast platforms as a limited series on August 30, follows the five late-night hosts as they “navigate the Hollywood strikes and beyond.”

According to a press release, the idea for the podcast was first conceived when the Writer’s Guild of America (WGA) went on strike in May. The comedians initially planned to discuss the “serious issues created by the work stoppage,” but ended up turning into “a series of hilarious and compelling conversations.”

All proceeds from Strike Group Five will go to the unemployed staff from the presenter’s shows, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel Live, Late Night with Seth Meyersand Last Week Tonight with John Oliver. It is sponsored by Mint Mobile and Diageo, and will consist of 12 episodes.
