Trump loves ‘hat ‘Colbert got fired,’ thinks Kimmel is next
President Trump could not contain his joy on the cancellation of CBS of “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” – and he predicted that Jimmy Kimmel of ABC would be the next to get the ax.
“I love the fact that Colbert was dismissed,” wrote the president on Friday in an article on Truth Social. “His talent was even less than his notes.”
Trump added that he had heard Kimmel “is the next one” and that he “has even less talent than Colbert!”
“Greg Gutfeld is better than all combined, including Cretin on NBC which ruined the program Once Great Tonight,” said Trump, also throwing an apparent excavation to Jimmy Fallon.
The eponymous program of Gutfeld is broadcast on Fox an hour before the start of major late programs.
CBS’s decision to withdraw Colbert of the air occurred for weeks after his parent company, Paramount Global, announced that she had agreed to pay $ 16 million to Trump to settle her trial alleging that an “60 -minute” interview with Kamala Harris was deceptive.
Colbert then described the “big-bridge” regulations, since Paramount currently requests the government’s approval for a merger of $ 8 billion with Skydance Media.
“As a person who has always been a proud employee of this network, I am offended,” he said. “And I don’t know if something will never repair my confidence in this business, but the simple fact of taking it, I would say that $ 16 million would help.”
Colbert Thursday confirmed during a live recording Thursday that the “network will end the show in May [2026]. “”
The news encountered audible huts of the crowd as well as a wave of online reactions. Many have expressed their dismay at the cancellation while others have expressed their support for Colbert, Kimmel among them.
“I love you, Stephen,” he wrote in an Instagram publication. “F – K you and all your Sheldons, CBS.”
His commentary is an apparent reference to “The Big Bang Theory”, which has caused several fallout on CBS, including “Young Sheldon” and “Georgie and Mandy’s First Marriage”. A third, “Stuart fails to save the universe,” was also announced earlier this month.
CBS in a press release defended its decision as “purely financial in a difficult context at the end of the evening”.
Colbert resumed the accommodation functions in 2015 after the retirement of David Letterman, who joined the network in 1993. The show was systematically the end of the evening rated during Colbert’s mandate.
