Jimmy Kimmel has been left rattled after the cancellation of fellow late-night comedian Stephen Colbert’s show on CBS.
In a post on Instagram, Kimmel lashed out at the company for axing the show, despite it losing huge amounts of money.
“Love you, Stephen. Fuck you and all your Sheldons CBS.”
According to a report from Puck News, the decision to cancel Colbert’s show was taken because it was costing Paramount $40 million a year. The total production cost runs at over $100 million.
As the two most recognizable faces in late-night comedy, Kimmel and Colbert have increasingly used their platform as a propaganda tool for the Democratic Party rather than entertainment shows that all Americans can enjoy.
Following Trump’s victory last November, Kimmel choked up on air as he moaned about the “hard-working immigrants” who might be deported under the administration.
Kimmel’s visceral reaction may also stem from a fear that he could soon find himself on the chopping block over at ABC.
Even President Trump is predicting his downfall.
“I absolutely love that Colbert got fired,” Trump wrote after hearing the news. “His talent was even less than his ratings.”
“I hear Jimmy Kimmel is next. Has even less talent than Colbert!” he continued.
“Greg Gutfeld is better than all of them combined, including the Moron on NBC who ruined the once great Tonight Show.”
Colbert’s firing also comes just days after he slammed Paramount’s $16 million settlement with Trump as a “big, fat bribe.”
Back in January, Colbert predicted that he would soon be pulled off air because of Trump’s return to the White House.
“Yeah, it’s been a good run. It’s been a good run, Joe,” he said at the time.
”Thank you. Thank you for all your efforts. The next time you all see me, Donald Trump will be president. And you may not see me.”
“Tonight, it’s just a little, little, a little bit of sweet and sour, a little semi-sweet chocolate chip. It’s the end of an era, because this is our last show of the Biden Administration.”
