Jimmy Kimmel blasts CBS after ‘Late Show’ cancellation

Jimmy Kimmel explodes CBS after the network announced Thursday that The Late Show with Stephen Colbert has been canceled and will end next May.

Colbert, 61, shared the news with his audience on Thursday, an announcement which was immediately met with huts of the crowd. The host joked that their response also resonates from the news.

“Yeah, I share your feelings,” he said to the crowd. “This is not only the end of our show, but it is the end of the late show on CBS. I am not replaced. All of this disappears.”

Fellow by Colbert Late Night How Kimmel published a clip for Thursday broadcast on his Instagram stories to share his anger with the news and support his nearby friend.

“I love you Stephen,” wrote Kimmel, before adding a message for the network that made the decision. “F — You and all your SHELDONS CBS.”

Colbert was notably graceful when he announced the future retirement of the show. While the public members continued to share their news in the news noisily, the host continued to thank CBS, viewers and all the Late show group and staff for their support over the years.

“We can do this show for each other, every day, all day, and I had the pleasure and responsibility to share what we do with you every day in front of this camera in the past 10 years,” he said.

He concluded: “Let me tell you, it’s a fantastic work. I want someone else getting it. And it’s a job that I can’t wait to do with this usual idiot gang for another 10 months. It will be fun.”

Kimmel was not the only one to denounce the decision of CBS, especially since many questioned the moment of the announcement since Colbert recently criticized the company parent, Paramount Global, for having settled a prosecution filed by President Donald Trump that certain legal observers should have been rejected for the reasons for the first amendment.

Celebrities faded to an Instagram post shared by Late show And Colbert’s personal account to send their support to Colbert and make their own call to the network behind the decision.

“I love you Stephen. These are absolute bulls —,” Breakup Star Adam Scott wrote. “And I look forward to the next 10 months of shows. ✊😡💔.”

Ancient Late show with Stephen Colbert The conductor Jon Batiste called Colbert “the greatest forever doing” and Rachel Zegler wrote: “I’m extremely sad. I adore you, Stephen.”

Senator Elizabeth Warren – who was frank on her disapproval of Paramount adjusting the trial brought by Trump during a 2024 60 minutes The interview with its competitor during this year’s presidential election, Kamala Harris – is among the most vocal detractors of the move.

“CBS canceled the program of Colbert only three days after Colbert called the parent company of CBS Paramount for its $ 16 million regulation with Trump – an agreement that resembles corruption,” the Massachusetts senator in a post. “America deserves whether its program has been canceled for political reasons. Look at and share its message.”

Although CBS labeled the pursuit of Trump “completely without merit” and asked a judge to reject him, the network finally conceded, a decision that many described in light of Paramount efforts to merge with Skydance Media, which would require the approval of the Trump administration.

Push more speculation about why The late show Was Hist is Trump’s reaction to the news.

“I love the fact that Colbert was dismissed. His talent was even less than his notes,” Trump wrote in a social article on Truth on Friday morning. “I hear that Jimmy Kimmel is the next one. Has even less talent than Colbert!”

Despite Trump’s celebration, he still stayed several months before Colbert farewell to his late evening show. And the host clearly does not retreat to his criticisms of the President in office.

During the episode on Thursday evening, the host roasted Trump for several recent announcements, clearly precipitating the former host of The apprentice “Would prefer to make us talk about his hand that Jeffrey Epstein”.

The Emmy winner accused Trump of “desperately looking for a scapegoat” while he is angry with the whole political aisle for having reversed his campaign position to exhibit the list of clients in the disgrace and sexual convict, whose death in prison in 2019 was judged to suicide. Colbert joked by saying that this would explain why Trump dismissed Maurene Comey, the Federal Prosecutor of Manhattan who worked on business against Epstein as well as his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell and the Hip-Hop Sean “Magnat” “.

“”[Trump] Pulled the UNO reversed card, calling on the FBI to investigate this hoax Jeffrey Epstein, by which he obviously means that he wants the FBI to investigate the people who investigated Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual traffic, which is weird, “said Colbert.
