Trump: Kimmel ‘next’ after CBS axes Colbert's 'Late Show'
SUMMARY: President Trump criticized ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel after CBS announced the cancellation of “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” for financial reasons, suggesting Kimmel is “next” and praising Fox’s Greg Gutfeld instead. CBS called the decision purely financial, but critics suspect political motives due to Paramount’s recent $16 million settlement with Trump over a lawsuit related to a “60 Minutes” interview and resignations of top CBS executives amid the controversy. Paramount’s planned Skydance merger also hinges on FCC approval. Fellow hosts, including Kimmel and Jimmy Fallon, expressed support for Colbert. The Writers Guild is urging an investigation into alleged political influence. The show ends in May 2026.
