Late-Night Show Host Goes After Trump for Saying He’s Next to Be Canceled

UNITED STATES, JUL 22 – Donald Trump claims Jimmy Kimmel and Jimmy Fallon will be next to lose their late-night shows after CBS canceled Stephen Colbert's program citing $40 million annual losses.

  • CBS announced last Thursday it will terminate The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, returning the airtime to local affiliates due to financial losses.
  • The cancellation followed years of Colbert’s politically charged content and came amid Paramount's effort to gain approval for a network sale, fueling debate on the reasons behind it.
  • President Donald Trump celebrated on social media that Colbert was fired, criticized his talent and ratings, and predicted Jimmy Kimmel and Jimmy Fallon would be next to be canceled.
  • The Late Show reportedly lost about $40 million annually, while Fox’s Greg Gutfeld show achieved higher ratings than the legacy network competitors, reflecting shifting viewer preferences.
  • The cancellation signals ongoing challenges for politically focused late-night shows and suggests networks may prioritize financial and strategic goals amid a polarized media landscape.
