Late-Night’s Poisoned Future
Description
Stephen Colbert’s “Late Show” ended abruptly due to financial cuts, sparking debates about late-night TV’s future—and its political ties. Meanwhile, Jimmy Kimmel, at the finale, reflected on his own uncertain future, calling the genre “poisoned” as he faces mounting pressure from Donald Trump over a controversial joke about Melania Trump, which resurfaced after a deadly shooting. Despite a one-year ABC extension, Kimmel admits his path forward is unclear, joking he’ll eventually mess up—but insists he’ll do so responsibly, hoping for freedom and maybe some fishing when his late-night run ends.
