Trump Says ‘I Absolutely Love’ That Stephen Colbert Got ‘Fired’ and ‘I Hear Jimmy Kimmel Is Next’

President Donald Trump weighed in on CBS’s announcement that it is canceling Stephen Colbert‘s late-night talk show — and he’s hopeful Jimmy Kimmel will be next to get axed.

CBS said Thursday that it plans to end “Late Show With Stephen Colbert” in May 2026, citing a “financial decision.”

“I absolutely love that Colbert’ got fired. His talent was even less than his ratings,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post on Friday morning. “I hear Jimmy Kimmel is next. Has even less talent than Colbert!”

The president then went on to praise Fox News late-night comedian Greg Gutfeld, whom Trump said “is better than all of them combined, including the Moron on NBC who ruined the once great Tonight Show,” referring to Jimmy Fallon.

The move to pull Colbert off the air came two weeks after Paramount Global announced that it agreed to pay Trump $16 million to settle his lawsuit alleging a “60 Minutes” interview with Kamala Harris was deceptively edited. And the announcement of “The Late Show” cancelation came four days after Colbert had said on his show that the settlement by CBS’s parent company was “a big, fat bribe.”
