Stephen Colbert was receiving messages of support and affection from his fellow late-night hosts after announcing that CBS was canceling his show, “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert,” next May. Jimmy Fallon said he was “just as shocked as everyone,” and Seth Meyers called him a great host and comedian but an even better person. Jimmy Kimmel directed an expletive at CBS, and Andy Cohen said it was a sad day for the network. As for President Donald Trump — a frequent target of Colbert’s comedy — he said on Truth Social that “I absolutely love” that Colbert was “fired.”
Some of the reaction from the late-night world:
“I’m just as shocked as everyone. Stephen is one of the sharpest, funniest hosts to ever do it. I really thought I’d ride this out with him for years to come. I’m sad that my family and friends will need a new show to watch every night at 11:30.” — the NBC “Tonight Show” host, on Instagram
“For as great a comedian and host (as) he is, @stephenathome is an even better person. I’m going to miss having him on TV every night but I’m excited he can no longer use the excuse that he’s ‘too busy to hang out’ with me.” — the NBC “Late Night” host, on Instagram
“Love you Stephen.” — the “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” host, on Instagram
“It is a very sad day for CBS that they are getting out of the late-night race. I mean, they are turning off the lights after the news.” — the “Watch What Happens Live” host, in an interview.

Imagine how easy AI is going to have taking over the show slot.
“Did you hear the new one about Trump? He’s a liar and the New Hitler.”
(AI generated laughs).
But that means she is still a person of color.
Colbert, as the comb that sticks to the glue hair of late night cronie capitalism, is now being washed down a grease free drain. However, he could be saved as US oil reserves for the next 20 years. Then, the faux grease ball hippie would finally become useful.
I've never understood how Kimmel has a show. He's only slightly funnier than Charles Manson.
Heh, heh.
This is chilling. Somehow, this must be Trump’s fault.
They know they are next, is that it?
My thoughts exactly. And then Seth Meyers.
Here’s hoping.
When you see or hear the word solidarity you know evil scheming commies are up to something.
"Stakeholder" is another stealth-commie word.
All of them are lying. They know Colbert was not funny at all. Now the focus will be on those remaining and they are worried that more people will realize how unfunny they are too.
Well fricking DUHHHHHHH!!!!
