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.

I really don’t enjoy kicking people when they’re down butt what the hell? LOL.

Hard to feel sorry for millionaires.

[BipolarBob]

I second the motion, Trump.

Gutfield on Fox cable beats them all

[DesertRhino]

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

‘Hard to feel sorry for millionaires’

Never got Colbert or Jimmy Kimmel . Jon Stewart had his moments but not many

[God luvs America]

Remind liberals how they protested not when DirecTV cut the cord on Newsmax and One America News immediately after the 2020 election

“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?

[Governor Dinwiddie]

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

[SkyDancer]

As people quit watching, they’ll leave as well.

[rephope]

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.

[BigFreakinToad]

Kimmel needs has @$$ed up between his smug face

[moviefan8]

What about the other jobs that that will be lost when the show ends Trump?

[Recovering_Democrat]

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.
