Jimmy Kimmel didn’t hold back after news broke that The Late Show With Stephen Colbert will end in May 2026. On Thursday evening, just hours after CBS confirmed the cancellation, Kimmel posted a full-hearted and pointed Instagram Story that voiced his support for Colbert while taking a direct jab at the network behind the decision.

Stephen Colbert accused CBS and Paramount of 'bribing' Donald Trump with a $16m payout three days before his show was cancelled

When Trump sent the National Guard into Los Angeles in June to quell protests related to his mass deportation efforts, Kimmel called Trump “an arsonist with a hose.” This came amid backlash over the President’s decision to send in the National Guard without the request of California Gov. Gavin Newsom. Contact us at [email protected].
