Stephen Colbert dramatically declared “we are all Jimmy Kimmel” during his Thursday night taping of “The Late Show” in a cringey monologue about ABC’s firing of his fellow late-night host.
“Tonight we are all Jimmy Kimmel,” the lame duck CBS host opened the solemn episode wholly dedicated to his peer during its taping in Midtown Manhattan.
“Yesterday after threats from Trump’s FCC chair, ABC yanked Kimmel off the air indefinitely. That is blatant censorship,” Colbert, 61, told the audience.
“With an autocrat, you cannot give an inch,” the host said in apparent reference to President Trump.
Colbert railed against FCC Chairman Brendan Carr’s “unprecedented decision” and pushed back against the claim Kimmel fell short of “community values.”
“Well you know what my values are, buster? Freedom of speech,” Colbert said to applause. “People across the country are shocked about this blatant assault on free speech.”

Oh the DRAMA!
What a complete bozo.
Colbert is a dumb as a bag of hammers.
I see little Stevie’s show not making it to May, spit.
i thought that faggot already got canned.
We’re all insensitive talentless hacks?
Nope.

They are acting like Kimmel got shot in the neck by a tranny furry lover that then stood in front of a DQ camera about 15 minutes after jumping off a roof.
I’m NOT jimmy loser kimmel.
I’ll save my tears for Charlie (you know, the real victim)
Stupid horse’s ass said what?
Colbert’s a clinical case study. I’m really enjoying seeing Trump break him without even saying a word.
Yeah, we already knew that. And it wasn't just tonight, it's been this way for years. You're all a bunch of party-line bigots and liars.
They really are the scum of the earth. Colbert was fired before all this because he’s a failure.
They couldn’t just accept that one of their pets committed a political assassination.
They just have to blame us, because they are arrogant, delusional and hateful.
I really hate these people.
The show is supposed to last until May 2026. My guess is that Paramount Skydance is going to have to call it quits before that.
Kimmels ratings were in the toilet and ABC used Kimmels ratings demise to dump him and yet blame Trump. Dumping Kimmel has been in the works for some time and his stupidity opened the door necessary to fire him without recourse. ABC broke their contract and Kimmel had no ground for reprisal.
I’m insulted.
You’re all liars?
Colbert gets an F on the subject of the First Amendment.
