As you know … ABC suspended Kimmel on Wednesday after FCC chairman Brendan Carr ripped Kimmel for comments he made about the Charlie Kirk shooter. Carr suggested the FCC might take action against ABC.
Trump has been celebrating Kimmel’s suspension. Speaking to the media during a visit to the United Kingdom, Trump slammed Kimmel for the “horrible thing” he said about Kirk, and claimed Kimmel is “not a talented person.”

Colbert can certainly relate to Kimmel.
Stephen’s show is set to end in May after CBS and its parent company, Paramount Global, pulled the plug on the program earlier this year, citing financial reasons. It’s worth noting the decision came on the tail of Colbert criticizing Paramount for settling Trump’s “60 Minutes” lawsuit.
