Colbert's 'Late Show' Ends in May, Kimmel's Suspended After Controversial Comments
Stephen Colbert's long-running late-night show, 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert', is set to conclude in May after nine years on CBS. Financial reasons have been cited for the show's end. Colbert, along with fellow late-night hosts Jimmy Kimmel and Seth Meyers, often used their platforms to satirize Donald Trump and his administration during his presidency.
Jimmy Kimmel's show, 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!', has been temporarily suspended by ABC following satirical remarks made by Kimmel about the murder of right-wing activist Charlie Kirk in September 2025. Kimmel, currently filming in a theater in Brooklyn, New York, has not yet returned to the air. Trump celebrated the suspension, along with Colbert's announced departure, on his social media platforms.
The late-night landscape is shifting with the end of Colbert's show and the temporary suspension of Kimmel's. Both hosts have been influential in political satire, and their absence will be notable. Meanwhile, Trump has expressed satisfaction with these developments.
