Late-Night TV Shakeup: Colbert's Show Ends, Kimmel Suspended; Trump Reacts

Late-night television in the US is seeing significant changes. Stephen Colbert's show is set to end in May, while Jimmy Kimmel's show has been temporarily suspended. Donald Trump has reacted to these developments.

Stephen Colbert's late-night show, which often satirized Trump and his administration, will conclude in May. Financial reasons were cited for the show's end. Colbert's departure follows the recent suspension of Jimmy Kimmel's show. Kimmel, currently filming in a theater in Brooklyn, New York, found himself in hot water over comments made about a fatal attack on right-wing activist Charlie Kirk. Both hosts, along with Seth Meyers, are known for their satirical takes on Trump's presidency.

The late-night landscape is shifting. Colbert's show will end in May, and Kimmel's suspension leaves a void in the political satire scene. Trump celebrated the news, seeing it as a victory. However, it remains to be seen how these changes will impact the political discourse in the US.
