Three days after Colbert criticized CBS for a payout the company made to President Trump, the network axed the late night show entirely in 2026

ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel interrupted his summer vacation to show support for fellow late-night host Stephen Colbert following the announcement Thursday that CBS will be ending The Late Show with Stephen Colbert — and the Late Show franchise altogether — at the end of the upcoming 2025-26 season.

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.
