Jimmy Kimmel blasts CBS over ‘The Late Show' cancellation as he supports pal Stephen Colbert: ‘F–k you'
Jimmy Kimmel blasted CBS for axing 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert' after 10 seasons while throwing his support behind his friend and fellow late-night host. 'Love you Stephen. F–k you and all your Sheldons CBS,' Kimmel wrote on his personal Instagram story Thursday, appearing to reference CBS's hit 'The Big Bang Theory' spinoff, 'Young Sheldon.' The 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' host's outburst comes as the network announced its plan to cancel 'The Late Show With Stephen Colbert' in May 2026, citing 'purely a financial decision.' 7 Jimmy Kimmel called out CBS for announcing that they are ending his friend, Stephen Colbert's, show on Thursday. Disney General Entertainment Content via Getty Images The network said it considered the 61-year-old late-night host 'irreplaceable' and that 'the broadcast will be remembered in the pantheon of greats that graced late-night television.' The decision marks the end of CBS's historic late-night programming, which began when David Letterman left NBC in 1993 to host 'The Late Show with David Letterman.' Letterman left his iconic show in 2015, and Colbert stepped in as host after gaining popularity on 'The Daily Show' and 'The Colbert Report.' Colbert — who said he was made aware of the news Wednesday evening — addressed the cancellation during the taping of Thursday's show at the Ed Sullivan Theatre in New York. 'Before we start the show, I want to let you know something I found out just last night. Next year will be our last season. The network will be ending the 'Late Show' in May,' he told the audience, who booed profusely over the news. 7 Colbert addressed the cancellation during the taping of Thursday's show at the Ed Sullivan Theatre in New York. The Late Show with Stephen Colbert 'I share your feelings,' Colbert replied. Colbert assured the audience he was not 'being replaced,' but that the network was ending the 'Late Show' franchise entirely. 'I do want to say that the folks at CBS have been great partners. I'm so grateful to the Tiffany Network for giving me this chair and this beautiful theater to call home,' he said. Colbert then reflected on his time as host and told the audience how 'grateful' he was for the fans who 'joined us every night in here, out there, all around the world, Mr and Mrs. America and all the ships at sea.' 7 Colbert assured the audience he was not 'being replaced,' but that the network was ending the 'Late Show' franchise entirely. The Late Show with Stephen Colbert 'I'm grateful to share the stage with this band every night. I am extraordinarily deeply grateful to the 200 people who work here,' he said. 'We get to do this show for each other — every day, all day. And I've had the pleasure and responsibility of sharing what we do every day with you in front of this camera for the last 10 years.' Colbert said he wishes 'somebody else' were taking over instead of seeing the show end for good. He then concluded his statement by saying he's 'looking forward' to putting on the show with the 'usual gang of idiots for another 10 months.' 7 CBS said that it is retiring ''The Late Show' franchise' for good in May 2026. The Late Show with Stephen Colbert 'It's going to be fun,' he assured. Kimmel and Colbert aren't just late-night TV peers, but good friends who share the same agent, James 'Babydoll' Dixon, Kimmel revealed while appearing as a guest on Colbert's show in 2015. The hosts also revealed that viewers and critics expected them to be enemies. Kimmel said he believes it stems from the historic feud with their predecessors, Letterman and Jay Leno. 'People want us to fight and everything like that,' Kimmel said while appearing as a guest on Colbert's show in 2015. 'It's weird.' 7 Kimmel on 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert' on Oct. 16, 2015. CBS via Getty Images 'People thought it would just continue like the crusade,' Kimmel said. 'I like you, though. I might even love you.' 'Really?' Colbert responded. 'If you died, I'd cry like a baby,' Kimmel shared. 'God forbid.' 'Wow. If I didn't have a show, I'd come to your funeral,' Colbert quipped. They have appeared on each other's shows multiple times over the years and even collaborated as presenters at the 2019 Emmy Awards. 7 Colbert and Kimmel speak onstage during the 71st Emmy Awards at Microsoft Theater on Sept. 22, 2019, in Los Angeles, California. Getty Images 7 Kimmel and Colbert also share the same agent, James 'Babydoll' Dixon. FOX In 2023, they were also co-hosts of the limited-series Spotify podcast 'Strike Force Five' with fellow late-night hosts Jimmy Fallon, Seth Meyers, and John Oliver. Seven-time Grammy winner Jon Batiste, who served as the 'Late Show' bandleader from 2015 to 2022, joined Kimmel as those who were upset over Colbert's cancellation. Batiste posted an emoji of a goat and a broken heart on his Instagram story, symbolizing the host as the 'greatest of all time.' Colbert has hosted nearly 1,700 episodes throughout almost 10 seasons and is ending despite frequently being ranked the top show in late-night television, according to Nielsen data. The most recent ratings from Nielsen show Colbert as winning his timeslot, with about 2.417 million viewers across 41 new episodes.

‘Full House' child star in a ‘constant process of recovery' after finding fame at young age
Everywhere Blake McIver Ewing looks, he's reminded of his time on 'Full House.' The actor, 40, got candid about playing Michelle Tanner's (Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen) friend, Derek Boyd, on the sitcom, which ran for eight seasons from 1987 to 1995. While on Jodie Sweetin and Andrea Barber's 'Full House' rewatch podcast, 'How Rude, Tanneritos,' on June 26, Ewing said he is most remembered for his 'Yankee Doodle Boy' performance from season six, episode eight, titled 'The Play's The Thing.' Advertisement 9 Blake McIver Ewing on 'Full House.' Disney General Entertainment Content via Getty Images Ewing revealed that fans still 'absolutely' ask him about the song, adding, 'I get requests for it.' 'This is the time of year where I start to hunker down like a Cold War bunker,' he joked. 'Tis the season. The memes start coming.' Advertisement 9 Yankee Doddle Boy performance. All kidding aside, Ewing said, 'It is an honor, and I'm glad that it still brings people joy.' Reflecting on playing Derek, the star noted he had 'a lot of similarities' to his character. 'I was very, very precocious and very able to speak my mind,' he confessed, expressing that they were both 'bossy.' Although the Hollywood vet has fond memories from his time on 'Full House,' being a child star has left him a 'Recovering Child Actor,' as noted in his Instagram bio.

Ewing starred in a slew of projects after his stint on 'Full House,' including playing Waldo in the 1994 classic 'The Little Rascals' and voicing Eugene in 2002's 'Hey Arnold! The Movie,' as well as starring in TV shows like 2001's 'Adventures in Odyssey.' 'I feel like we're all in recovery always,' Ewing shared with his former co-stars. 'It's an annoying process. People ask me about it all the time, and I'm like, 'No. It's not a negative thing. It's just like there's a constant process of recovery.'' Ewing also considered himself 'lucky' that his parents, actress Susan McIver and director Bill Ewing, didn't push him to be an actor, adding that he 'wanted to do it.' Advertisement 9 Blake McIver Ewing and Mary Kate/Ashley Olsen on 'Full House.' Disney General Entertainment Content via Getty Images 'Since both my parents were in show business, they didn't care at all,' he confessed. 'They were like, 'Well, if you're gonna do it, just don't embarrass us. At least be good at it.'' 'But it's so funny because you become a teenager, you become an adolescent, and it doesn't matter. There is still a life learning curve,' said Ewing. 'And it's really more about that. It's like we recover in our own way.' Sweetin, who played Stephanie Tanner, echoed her former co-star's sentiments, sharing that 'there's a whole extra layer of getting through that thing of being known as something [as] a child.' 9 Blake McIver Ewing performs on stage. Getty Images for Family Equality Council 'Most people don't have to shake off a career at 13 and be like, 'Who am I now?'' Sweetin continued while noting that as a teen, you're 'really trying to figure out who you are anyway,' but being a child star adds extra 'layers.' 'Absolutely,' Ewing agreed. 'It is an identity crisis of a sort. And I always try to explain to people… you have your mid-career crisis at 18.' From Barber's perspective, child actors from the '90s have their 'own language' and are 'like one big fraternity.' Advertisement 9 Blake McIver Ewing attends Family Equality Council's Impact Awards. Getty Images for Family Equality Ewing said while doing 'a lot of episodic work' on other series as a kid, it showed him just how 'lucky' the cast of 'Full House' was. Ewing reprised his role as Derek on 'Fuller House,' which ran from 2016 to 2020. He starred in the series finale, Season 5 episode 18, titled 'Our Very Last Show, Again.' 'When we were doing 'Fuller House,' I was always thinking about, 'Where is Derek?'' he said. 'I hope he's teaching high school theater in San Francisco.'

Great British Bake Off's Paul Hollywood says 'I can disappear' as he hints at quitting UK
Great British Bake Off's Paul Hollywood says 'I can disappear' as he hints at quitting UK Great British Bake Off judge Paul Hollywood has opened up on his love for Cyprus, where he wed wife Melissa, and hinted he may retire to the Mediterranean island Paul Hollywood (Image: Mark Bourdillion, Disney General Entertainment Content via Getty Images ) Paul Hollywood, famed for his role on the Great British Bake Off, has expressed his fondness for Cyprus, deeming it his "second home" and possibly the location of his future retirement. In a heartfelt dialogue with Woman's Weekly, the celebrity chef reflected on his recent soothing sojourn to Cyprus with his wife Melissa, having returned just before the interview. Cyprus resonates deeply with Hollywood, having first become enchanted with the country in the 1990s while he was the head baker at a local hotel. His connection to the Mediterranean island deepened in 1996 when he encountered his first spouse, Alex, and they were married there two years subsequently. After his previous marriage came to an end in 2019, Hollywood found solace in Cyprus once again, saying "I do" with Melissa Spalding, 41, reinforcing the significant presence Cyprus has had throughout his life, reports Gloucestershire Live. Great British Bake Off (Image: PA ) Article continues below "I consider it my second home," confided Paul to the publication. "I might retire there - it will be somewhere that no one will ever find me because I know places in the mountains that no one knows. I can disappear in Cyprus really easily!". The revered Bake Off judge, notorious for his piercing gaze and candid feedback, unveiled a more contemplative side as he mused over the peace and seclusion he revels in whilst amidst the tranquil Cypriot hideaways, well away from the limelight. The Merseyside-born baker is well-versed in globetrotting due to his career, which has taken him to various international destinations including Japan, where he explored the local cuisine, and Mexico. He's also been featured on The Great American Baking Show, an offshoot of the popular Bake Off series. However, it was his journey to the Maldives that stood out as particularly memorable for Paul, providing him with both relaxation and the opportunity to engage in his hobby of diving. Paul Hollywood (Image: CHANNEL 4 ) Article continues below On Alan Carr's Life's a Beach podcast, he recounted: "Maldives was one of those places that, it was a dream destination for me, and I managed to get there a couple of years ago and I just fell in love with it. I was on a beautiful island called Vakkaru and it was just a stunning island. "The sea, I'm a scuba diver so I did a bit of scuba diving while I was there, and it was just stunning. The fish, the sharks, the rays, and the food. "Everyone got bicycles, each villa got bicycles to get around the island on, it wasn't very big, you could literally get around it in a minute, but I loved it. I fell in love with the place."

Clint Eastwood rips Hollywood's sequel and remake addiction: ‘I long for the good old days'
Clint Eastwood is channeling his 'Get off my lawn!' character from 'Gran Torino.' In a new interview, the 95-year-old actor and director slammed Hollywood's growing reliance on sequels and remakes. 'My philosophy is: do something new or stay at home,' the Oscar winner told Kuria, an Austrian newspaper. 3 Clint Eastwood recently says he longs for 'the good old days' when Hollywood made more original films. Disney General Entertainment Content via Getty Images 'I long for the good old days when screenwriters wrote movies like 'Casablanca' in small bungalows on the studio lot. When everyone had a new idea,' added Eastwood, whose career spans seven decades. 'We live in an era of remakes and franchises. I've shot sequels three times, but I haven't been interested in that for a long while.' Eastwood is likely referring to the 1970s and eighties 'Dirty Harry' movie series, in which he starred in four sequels: 'Magnum Force,' 'The Enforcer,' 'Sudden Impact' and 'The Dead Pool.' The man puts his money where his mouth is. Last year, Eastwood directed 'Juror No. 2,' an acclaimed original courtroom thriller starring Nicholas Hoult. While the film made the National Board of Review's top 10 list, it did not receive a wide release in the US. It grossed $24 million overseas. 3 Eastwood directed and starred in 'Gran Torino.' ©Warner Bros/Courtesy Everett Collection Eastwood, who's won four Academy Awards for the films 'Million Dollar Baby' and 'Unforgiven,' says he won't retire for 'a long time.' 'There's no reason why a man can't get better with age,' the 'Mystic River' director said. 'And I have much more experience today. Sure, there are directors who lose their touch at a certain age, but I'm not one of them.' 3 Clint Eastwood has been working in Hollywood for seven decades. Courtesy Everett Collection A secret to his longevity, Eastwood says, are the work habits he learned early in his career as an actor. 'As an actor, I was still under contract with a studio, was in the old system, and thus forced to learn something new every year,' he said. 'And that's why I'll work as long as I can still learn something, or until I'm truly senile.'
