Trump Says ‘I Absolutely Love’ That Stephen Colbert Got ‘Fired’ and ‘I Hear Jimmy Kimmel Is Next’
Variety ^ | 7/18/25 | Todd Spangler

President Donald Trump weighed in on CBS’s announcement that it is canceling Stephen Colbert‘s late-night talk show — and the president is hopeful Jimmy Kimmel will be next to get axed.

CBS said Thursday that it plans to end “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert” in May 2026, calling it a “purely a financial decision against a challenging backdrop in late night.”

“I absolutely love that Colbert’ got fired. His talent was even less than his ratings,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post on Friday morning. “I hear Jimmy Kimmel is next. Has even less talent than Colbert!”

Smug face Kimmel deserves it, but I doubt it will happen, ABC/Disney are the most anti-American network.

Yeah, I’m with you. At some point I’d like him to end the silly insults and get serious.

“Yeah, I’m with you. At some point I’d like him to end the silly insults and get serious.”

If he does, would it matter?

Kimmel and Colbert are the worst of the horrid late night scum. Kimmel is a cry baby, and Colbert is the kid who always got a swirly and wedgie.

Hitting below your weight is not attractive. But after SCs antics, what goes around, comes around. Karmas a bitch

ABC already has Kimmel hosting a revived version of “Who Wants to be a Millionaire” considering his late show ratings.

The insults are a great way to fight back! Trump speaks for many of us. This is one of the reasons I love the guy.

Kimmel does blackface and ABC still loves the loser. Sickening.

“purely a financial decision against a challenging backdrop in late night.”

In other words low ratings.
