Jimmy Kimmel Cusses Out CBS ‘and All Your Sheldons’ Over Colbert Cancellation

by

Stephen Colbert, join us in this journey. The network, CBS, has decided to end The Late Show after the 2025-’26 season, with the final episode scheduled for May of the following year. In an Instagram post from his July 17 episode, Colbert expressed, “This isn’t just the end of our show, but the end of The Late Show on CBS. I’m not being replaced.” CBS stated that this decision was purely financial, given the difficult circumstances in late-night television. Recently, Colbert criticized CBS’s parent company, Paramount, for offering a significant settlement to Donald Trump to resolve his lawsuit against 60 Minutes. The sale of Paramount to the Ellisons and Skydance is pending FCC approval, and there have been repercussions felt across several CBS productions, including the resignation of longtime 60 Minutes executive producer Bill Owens.

Donald Trump expressed his pleasure on Truth Social over the cancellation of Stephen Colbert’s show, stating, “I’m thrilled that Colbert got let go.” In his post, he added, “His skills were no better than his viewership. I hear Jimmy Kimmel is next. He’s even less talented than Colbert! Greg Gutfeld surpasses them all, including the dimwit on NBC who destroyed the once-popular Tonight Show.”

Below are reactions from Jimmy Kimmel, Elizabeth Warren, and Bowen Yang to the end of Colbert’s Late Show:

Jimmy Kimmel: “I heard Donald Trump is happy I might be next. Well, Mr. President, I hope you enjoy your time in the spotlight while it lasts!”

Elizabeth Warren: “Stephen Colbert brought laughter and insight to millions of Americans for many years. It’s a shame he’s gone now, but the fight for progress continues.”

Bowen Yang: “I’ll miss Stephen Colbert on TV, but I’m excited to see what he does next. He’s a brilliant comedian and thinker!

Senator Elizabeth Warren

As a dedicated cinephile, I’d rephrase it this way: “Three days after I criticized CBS parent company Paramount for their $16M settlement with Trump, which seems suspiciously like bribery, CBS suddenly decided to pull the plug on Colbert’s show.
