Jimmy Kimmel Live” guest host Fortune Feimster arrived on the set at an awkward time for late-night television after CBS canceled Stephen Colbert’s “Late Show” amid speculation of political pressure.

"The word is, and it's a strong word at that, Jimmy Kimmel is NEXT to go in the untalented Late Night Sweepstakes and, shortly thereafter, Fallon will be gone," Trump wrote. The president continued on, slamming Kimmel and Fallon for having "absolutely NO TALENT" and even blamed them for "destroying what used to be GREAT Television."

Jimmy Kimmel didn’t hold back after news broke that The Late Show With Stephen Colbert will end in May 2026. On Thursday evening, just hours after CBS confirmed the cancellation, Kimmel posted a full-hearted and pointed Instagram Story that voiced his support for Colbert while taking a direct jab at the network behind the decision.
