    The late-night comedy brigade gathered together during the final days
    of Stephen ColbertAs oThe Late Showo to participate in their favorite activity: obsessing about President Trump.

    Colbert hosted fellow late-night comedy hosts, including Jimmy Fallon,
    Jimmy Kimmel, Seth Meyers, and John Oliver, on MondayAs episode as he
    gears up for the showAs big finale on May 21.

    Kimmel, who was briefly suspended last fall after making false comments
    about the man who assassinated Charlie Kirk, suggested that viewers
    should watch more late-night television and cancel Paramount+.

    oWe have a lot of shows. 30,000 people watching each one, and it adds
    up,o Kimmel said. oPeople watch us on YouTube now. People have a lot of different options and they keep coming to us. I will tell you, when I
    got knocked off the air for a few days, people canceled Disney+. Why
    arenAt people canceling Paramount+? Because you never had it in the
    first place?o

    He also responded to ColbertAs question about whether any of the other
    hosts ever expected to be odoing a job that the president of the United
    States would have strong feelings about.o

    oYou know whatAs even weirder? Doing a job that his wife has strong
    feelings about,o Kimmel replied, referring to the criticism he received
    for his tasteless joke about the first lady being an oexpectant widowo
    just days before a man attempted to assassinate Trump.

    Meyers, who has hosted NBCAs Late Night with Seth Meyers since 2014,
    said he appreciates having Trump as a fan. oThe thing I like, he posts
    when the show airs, and I want to say I appreciate that he is watching
    linear television,o Meyers said during the oLate Showo appearance. oIf
    I would make my case for late-night, itAs that leaders of the free
    world are watching it when it airs.o

    CBS announced that oThe Late Showo was ending in July 2025, mentioning
    that it was opurely a financial decision.o However, some have
    speculated that ColbertAs show was canceled due to the merger between Paramount and Skydance.

    Colbert has been vocally opposed to CBSAs decision to pull the plug on
    the show despite reports that the program was losing $40 million
    annually.

    The political commentator went on to blame the format rather than the
    content of the show.

    oItAs possible that two things can be true,o Colbert told NYT.
    oBroadcast can be in trouble. They cannot monetize because of things
    like YouTube, because of the competition of streaming. TheyAve got the
    books, and I do not have any desire to debate them over what they say
    their business model is and how it does not work for them anymore. But
    less than two years before they called to say itAs over, they were very
    eager for me to be signed for a long time. So, something changed.o
    --
    Democrats and the liberal media hate President Trump more than they
    love this country.

    Brilliant. Late Show ratings are so terrible they needed to combine the ratings of 5 hosts.

    They're Trump haters. They hate our dear leader. They mock him
    constantly.

    They're clearly leftists who refuse to accept that he's a stable genius and are jealous.
