Trump and Kimmel have shared some heated exchanges in the past. At the end of his hosting gig at the 96th Annual Academy Awards in March 2024, Kimmel took a moment to read a review of his performance that Trump had posted on his Truth Social account.

CBS announced on Thursday that the network will cancel "The Late Show" in 2026, insisting it’s a "financial decision" and has nothing to do with a looming ownership change.

Kimmel, 57, who hosts Jimmy Kimmel Live! on ABC, reposted a clip of Colbert’s announcement via his Instagram Story with the caption, “Love you Stephen. F*** you and all your Sheldons CBS.”
