Jimmy Kimmel to Air Rerun During Stephen Colbert’s Final Episode of ‘The Late Show’
Kimmel will rerun his ABC show instead of competing with Colbert’s finale, repeating a move he made for David Letterman’s farewell.
- On Thursday, May 21, Jimmy Kimmel will air a rerun of 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' to honor Stephen Colbert's final 'The Late Show' episode, acting out of deference to his sendoff.
- CBS announced the cancellation of 'The Late Show' in July 2025, calling it a 'purely a financial decision,' though critics alleged the move constituted censorship during Paramount Global's merger with David Ellison-owned Skydance.
- Previously, Kimmel aired a rerun for David Letterman's 2015 finale, a gesture he now repeats to honor Colbert while avoiding distraction from the host's final broadcast.
- Colbert's final week features high-profile guests including John Krasinski and Tom Hanks, with David Letterman returning on May 14 following the late-night team's recent 'Strike Force Five' podcast reunion.
