Kimmel confirmed to Late Nighter on Monday, May 11 that Jimmy Kimmel Live! will not produce a new episode on Thursday, May 21 "out of deference to Colbert’s sendoff."
Colbert has hosted The Late Show for 11 years after taking it over from David Letterman in 2015. Kimmel made the same gesture back then, saying he had too much respect for Letterman, one of his childhood heroes, to do anything that might pull viewers away from his goodbye.
While The Late Show With Stephen Colbert has consistently pulled in high-ratings, CBS announced in July 2025 that it would be ending after the 2025-26 TV season.
“This is purely a financial decision against a challenging backdrop in late night. It is not related in any way to the show’s performance, content or other matters happening at Paramount,” the statement added, addressing speculation that the show was pulled due to Colbert's frequent criticism of President Donald Trump.
