‘Jimmy Kimmel is next': Donald Trump gloats over Stephen Colbert's cancellation
Don't miss out on the headlines from TV. Followed categories will be added to My News. President Donald Trump addressed CBS' shocking decision to cancel The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, seemingly suggesting that other late night hosts should get a similar treatment – namely his longtime critic, Jimmy Kimmel. 'I absolutely love that Colbert got fired. His talent was even less than his ratings,' Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social, per Variety. 'I hear Jimmy Kimmel is next. Has even less talent than Colbert!' Kimmel and Trump have been feuding for years, Decider reports. Not only did Trump blast Kimmel's time hosting the Oscars in 2024, but the late night host has spent almost every single evening on Jimmy Kimmel Live criticising Trump's politics in recent months. Kimmel was even moved to tears after Trump won the presidency in 2024, calling this a 'terrible night' for democracy and claiming he's on Trump's 'list of enemies.' Trump also took a shot at Jimmy Fallon while praising Fox News late night host Greg Gutfield. US President Donald Trump. (AP Photo/Alex Brandon) 'Greg Gutfield is better than all of them combined, including the Moron on NBC who ruined the once great Tonight Show,' he wrote. CBS announced it made the 'financial decision' to cancel The Late Show in a press release shared Thursday (July 17). The show is set to end in May 2026. 'We consider Stephen Colbert irreplaceable and will retire The Late Show franchise at that time. We are proud that Stephen called CBS home. He and the broadcast will be remembered in the pantheon of greats that graced late night television,' the statement reads, per The Hollywood Reporter. 'This is purely a financial decision against a challenging backdrop in late night. It is not related in any way to the show's performance, content or other matters happening at Paramount.'

Paramount is currently in the middle of a merger with Skydance Media that will require approval from Trump's administration. 'I don't know if anything — anything — will repair my trust in this company,' Colbert said on The Late Show earlier this week. 'But, just taking a stab at it, I'd say $16 million would help.' Kimmel wasted no time in speaking out in support of Colbert. 'Love you Stephen. F**k you and all your Sheldons CBS,' he wrote on Instagram.

Kremlin not ruling out Putin-Trump talks in Beijing
The Kremlin is not ruling out the possibility of a meeting between Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump if the Russian and US presidents are both in Beijing at the same time in September. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov confirmed Putin will visit China for events to mark the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II, but says Moscow has not heard if Trump plans to go. "You know that we are preparing for a trip to Beijing, our president is preparing for this trip... But we have not heard that President Trump is also going there, to Beijing," Peskov said when asked if the two leaders could meet, including possibly in a three-way format with Chinese President Xi Jinping. "If it so happens that (Trump) is there, then, of course, we cannot rule out that the question of the expediency of holding a meeting will be raised," Peskov told reporters. The Times newspaper reported last week that China was positioning itself to hold a summit between Trump and Putin. Putin and Trump have spoken at least six times since Trump returned to the White House in January. The Kremlin has said it is in favour of a face-to-face meeting between them, but this would need careful preparation in order to produce results. Trump has expressed growing frustration with the Russian leader over a lack of progress towards ending the war in Ukraine, saying earlier this month that "we get a lot of bullshit thrown at us by Putin". Trump said last week he would impose new sanctions on Russia and buyers of its exports in 50 days unless Moscow agreed to a peace deal. That deadline will expire in early September, coinciding with the war anniversary events in Beijing.

Trump threatens Washington Commanders to change name back to Redskins
'To Di For' podcast host Kinsey Schofield reacts to US President Donald Trump threatening the NFL's Washington Commanders to change their name back to the 'Redskins'. 'Trump says that the public has since moved away from what he described as excessive political correctness. I don't know,' Ms Schofield told Sky News host Rita Panahi. 'I think that the investment's been made, the logos exist, I don't think these franchises will change back unless we continue to see the MAGA movement live beyond Trump.'
