On a fine Wednesday in 2025, President Donald J. Trump celebrated ABC pulling 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' off the air indefinitely after Kimmel's bombastic comment about Charlie Kirk's death, calling Kimmel 'zero talent' with worse ratings than Stephen Colbert—whose CBS show was already canned for 'purely financial reasons' in July. Trump, never shy, urged NBC to axe 'two total losers,' Jimmy Fallon and Seth Meyers, reminding everyone that the ratings bloodbath is bipartisan. The FCC chair Brendan Carr and giant media outfits Nexstar and Sinclair also joined the Kimmel funeral procession, pulling him from affiliate stations. Meanwhile, Senate Democrats like Chuck Schumer rallied against the cancellation, proving that even late-night TV is now a political UFC cage match.
