Stephen Colbert gleefully reacts to Jimmy Kimmels return to air

Tue, 09/23/2025 - 08:52

Stephen Colbert has responded to the news that Jimmy Kimmel will return to air on Tuesday, declaring that "our long national late nightmare is over." Well, partially over at least.

"This is wonderful news for my dear friend Jimmy and his amazing staff… I'm so happy for them. Plus, now that Jimmy's not being cancelled, I get to enjoy this again," said Colbert, brandishing his newly won Emmy Award from last week

Colbert had been up against Kimmel for the award, but understandably found it difficult to celebrate amidst his fellow nominees' suspension.

"Once more, I am the only martyr in late night," Colbert continued, referencing his own show's untimely cancellation. "Wait. Unless… CBS, you want to announce anything? Still no? Right, 'cause of the money thing, I forgot."

CBS cancelled Colbert's long-running talk show in July, days after he accused its parent company Paramount of paying a bribe to President Donald Trump. The Trump administration approved Paramount's $8 billion merger with Skydance one week later.

"After Kimmel was suspended, Google searches for 'cancel Disney+' and 'cancel Hulu' spiked," Colbert noted, citing this as the reason Disney reinstated him. "Which explains why the other trending search was: 'How to entertain feral child without Bluey?'"

Jon Stewart responds to Jimmy Kimmels return to air

Tue, 09/23/2025 - 08:13

Jon Stewart has reacted to Jimmy Kimmel's anticipated return to late night television, congratulating everyone who boycotted Disney in support of the late show host.

"That campaign that you all launched, pretending that you were going to cancel Hulu while secretly racing through four seasons of Only Murders in the Building, that really worked," quipped Stewart on the Daily Show. "Wasn't it interesting to try and figure out all the tentacles Disney has in your daily life? It's one thing to swear off cruises, but the Avengers? How is it possible that by getting rid of one company, I can't watch Winnie the Pooh or Monday Night Football? Or listen to early Hilary Duff."

He then sang a few lines of Duff's "So Yesterday" before quickly cutting himself off, stating that "Disney is very litigious."

Stewart further addressed claims that the Trump administration had nothing to do with ABC's decision to suspend Kimmel. Such assertions come in spite of apparent threats from Federal Communications Commission (FCC) chairman Brendan Carr to revoke ABC's broadcast license unless it took action against Kimmel.

Speaking to Fox News, host Lara Trump stated that if "if Donald Trump wanted to take everyone off the air who had criticisms for him, there would basically only be a handful of individuals left on television."

"That is funny," said Stewart. "But it's also maybe a cause for self-reflection? 'Hey, if everyone on TV is criticising me except for, like, four people, and one of them is my daughter-in-law, am I the drama?'"

To conclude his monologue, Stewart offered a blunt message for Trump's defenders.

"You don't have to bend over backwards trying to make Trump's authoritarian power grabs seem like the rule of law," said Stewart. "He does not give a fuck any more. He's saying it straight up. Trump is saying, 'the people like dictators.' Trump is saying, 'I hate my opponents, and I want them punished.' And Trump is saying, 'I'll use all the levers of government at my disposal to accomplish that goal.' 

"So you can get on board with that and say, 'I'm with that,' or you can join the rest of us and fight like hell for this constitutional republic."

Seth Meyers tells Trump how to stop late night hosts from mocking him

Tue, 09/23/2025 - 07:36

Jimmy Kimmel will return to air on Tuesday, Disney announcing that the late night host's suspension is being lifted after "thoughtful conversations" with him. Even so, the issues that led to Kimmel being pulled from broadcast are far from settled, with concerns about government censorship and infringement of free speech continuing to dominate.

SEE ALSO: Jimmy Kimmel pulled off the air. This is the monologue that sparked it.

Late Night host Seth Meyers didn't have much to say about Kimmel's return during the show's most recent episode, noting that he just found out about it minutes before filming began. However, Meyers did speak about the environment that led to Kimmel's suspension, particularly President Donald Trump's blatant targeting of his political opponents and critics.

"[T]he whole point of free speech is that it's protected even when you don't like it," said Meyers. "Yes, comedy shows make jokes about the president. You know why? Because he's the president. He's the most powerful, most famous person on the planet. And in this particular case, he's a billionaire and his party controls everything."

ABC pulled Kimmel off air amidst apparent threats from Federal Communications Commission (FCC) chairman Brendan Carr to revoke its broadcast license unless it punished him for comments he made about the Republican reaction to right-wing commentator Charlie Kirk's death. Trump subsequently reacted to the ABC's decision with glee, calling for The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and Late Night with Seth Meyers to be removed from broadcast as well. All these shows have been critical of and made jokes about Trump, and been the targets of his ire because of it. 

In response, Meyers pointed out that Trump is far from the only politician late night hosts have criticised. The difference is that he keeps giving them mountains of material.

"The point is, we make jokes about politicians and people in the news, including Joe Biden," said Meyers, directly addressing Trump. "It was just harder with Joe Biden because he didn't say much. 

"You, on the other hand, talk all the time! You never stop talking! You didn't stop talking when he was president! You've talked more than all the other presidents combined, ever! People say Johnny Carson didn't make this many jokes about politics, but he would have if every time he spoke Ronald Reagan did 15 minutes on how toilets don't flush well anymore!"
