ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel slammed CBS on Thursday for ending “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.” “Love you Stephen. F‑‑‑ you and all your Sheldons CBS,” Kimmel, the host of “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” wrote in a Thursday post on his Instagram story.

The decision shocked Hollywood. Andy Cohen called it “a sad day for late night.” Lawmakers like Warren and Adam Schiff publicly questioned whether Colbert’s pointed monologues hastened his exit. For Jimmy Kimmel, the cancellation erases one of the few peers who match his mix of political satire and ratings heft.

Some of Stephen Colbert’s fellow late-night hosts are showing their support following the news that CBS has decided to cancel The Late Show after more than 30 years. The final broadcast will air in May 2026.
