Jimmy Kimmel reportedly offered Stephen Colbert his late-night show slot after CBS canceled “The Late Show,” a surprising move given their past rivalry—but the two are now pals. Colbert declined, saying it felt too soon, but Kimmel pledged to step aside if Colbert ever wanted to return. Ironically, Kimmel’s ratings surged after Colbert’s exit, with Kimmel sarcastically thanking CBS for their “wisdom.” CBS cited a $40 million annual loss, but insiders and Kimmel himself called that number bogus, suspecting the real reason tied to appeasing Trump, who’d been pushing for late-night hosts to be canceled. The timing coincided with Paramount’s FCC merger approval, fueling suspicion and anger—Kimmel even urged viewers to boycott CBS after Colbert’s final episode.
