Spooked Jimmy Kimmel's F-word rant over Colbert cancelation as his own late night show circles the drain
Jimmy Kimmel ranted at CBS bosses over the cancelation of his rival Stephen Colbert 's late night amid growing claims Kimmel faces the ax too. Kimmel shared a video of Colbert telling his audience the grim news, writing, 'Love you Stephen. F*** you and all your Sheldons CBS.' The shady comment appeared to reference the Big Bang Theory universe on CBS, which includes shows like Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage and Young Sheldon. Colbert shared the abrupt cancelation of his show during Thursday's taping, telling his live audience that the network was ending the program next year and this would be the last season of late-night on CBS. He revealed that he heard the news just a day before and agreed with the audience's persistent boos. Colbert clarified that CBS wasn't replacing him, and that 'it was all just going away.' He praised the job and said he wished someone else could take over his chair. The network's decision to end its late-night programming altogether comes as the genre of late-night television has struggled to adapt to the streaming age. It could serve as a grim warning to other late-night hosts, including Kimmel, who have seen a sharp decline in ratings amid nightly woke rants and tired anti-Trump jokes. The Daily Mail reached out to ABC for comment. The big three of the genre have long been considered to be Kimmel, Colbert, and Fallon, all competing at the coveted time slot of 11:35 pm EST. The three hosts represent the three major network power players, ABC, CBS, and NBC, respectively. Colbert has typically scored the top spot in ratings, finishing first in 2023 and 2024 with an average of 2.6 million viewers. Kimmel finished the last two years in second, with an average of 1.82 million viewers, while Fallon placed third with 1.43 million, according to the Hollywood Reporter. Despite Colbert's success in ratings, the network still decided to axe his slot altogether, potentially representing a bleak outlook for the two Jimmys. All three late-night shows dipped in ratings over the last five years, and shows at the 12:35 slot were even worse off. CBS ended James Corden's The Late Late Show in 2023, citing that the later time slot was no longer profitable for the network. Similarly to Colbert's departure, CBS opted to end the program altogether and never replaced Corden. Viewing habits have changed in the age of streaming platforms like Netflix, making it harder for networks to attract advertisers - and the gigantic salaries of the little-watched late night hosts. CBS are rumored to pay Colbert $15 million-a-year for his doomed show, with Kimmel said to be on the same enormous amount and Fallon on slightly more at $16 million. But shows that once combined light celebrity interviews with gentle social commentary are now filled with constant jibes about President Trump and politics, with fewer viewers having a stomach for such sourness just before bedtime. Colbert helped to produce a less expensive alternative titled After Midnight, hosted by Taylor Tomlinson, but the show also struggled to gain traction and was canceled after only two seasons. Colbert's departure now signals CBS's exit from the late-night game altogether, ending a generations-long tradition of the three power players competing for number one. Founding host David Letterman hosted the program for over 20 years before handing it off to Colbert in 2015. During Letterman's stint, Jay Leno hosted The Tonight Show on NBC, marking a years-long battle between the two for the top show. Letterman and Leno's generation represented a golden age in late-night, but streaming and social media have made it difficult for the genre to endure. Paramount, CBS's parent corporation, has also undergone shakeups, with a deal pending to merge with Skydance. Skydance, fronted by Trump backer Larry Ellison's son, David, has proposed a merger with Paramount to the tune of $8.4 billion. The merger, which will need approval from the Trump administration, comes as Paramount agreed to settle a lawsuit with the president for $16 million. Just a few days before the news dropped of The Late Show's cancellation, Colbert slammed Paramount for accepting the settlement on-air. He called the payout a 'big, fat, bribe,' and criticized his parent company of not fighting harder against it. Paramount denied any political motivation for canceling the program, explaining that the decision was a 'purely a financial' one 'against a challenging backdrop in late night.' 'We consider Stephen Colbert irreplaceable and will retire the Late Show franchise at that time,' the executives said. 'We are proud that Stephen called CBS home. He and his broadcast will be remembered in the pantheon of greats that graced late night television.' 'It is not related in any way to the show's performance, content or other matters happening at Paramount,' the statement added.

Jimmy Kimmel Slams CBS For Canceling Stephen Colbert Show
On Thursday, news broke that The Late Show with Stephen Colbert is being canceled after a decadelong run. Host Stephen announced the news during a heartbreaking segment on the show. 'Next year will be our last season. The network will be ending The Late Show in May,' he told the audibly disappointed audience. Shortly after Stephen's segment aired, CBS confirmed the news in a public statement, noting that the cancelation was 'purely a financial decision.' Before long, fellow talk show host Jimmy Kimmel shared his thoughts on CBS's decision — and it's safe to say that he isn't happy. 'Love you Stephen. Fuck you and all your Sheldons CBS,' he wrote on his Instagram story, seemingly referring to the network's Big Bang Theory franchise, which has received two separate spinoffs: Young Sheldon and Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage. Jimmy isn't the only celebrity who has publicly shared his disappointment at Stephen's show being canceled. Adam Scott, for one, wrote in an Instagram comment, 'Love you Stephen. This is absolute bullshit, and I for one am looking forward to the next 10 months of shows.' Meanwhile, several people have speculated that CBS's decision to axe the show was influenced by politics, given that it comes roughly two weeks after the network's parent company, Paramount, agreed to pay President Donald Trump $16 million to settle a lawsuit it once called meritless. The suit saw Trump accuse the show 60 Minutes of editing an interview with Kamala Harris in the run-up to the US presidential election, and misleading voters. Stephen publicly criticized Paramount — whose owners are currently urging the Trump administration to approve the CBS sale to production company Skydance — over the move, stating on his show: 'My parent corporation Paramount paid Donald Trump a $16 million settlement over his 60 Minutes lawsuit. As someone who has always been a proud employee of this network, I am offended. And I don't know if anything will ever repair my trust in this company. Let us know what you think in the comments, and we'll keep you posted if more unfolds.
