Donald Trump says he’s happy Stephen Colbert’s late night show is being cancelled: “His talent was even less than his ratings. I hear Jimmy Kimmel is next.”
"THE LATE SHOW with STEPHEN COLBERT will end in May 2026 at the close of the 2025-26 broadcast season," CBS says.
I’m so obsessed with how obsessed everyone is with the Coldplay cheaters. Two totally random unknown private people allegedly having an affair & we all can’t get enough. This is Scandoval for boomers. @Andy, you avail for the family reunion?

Did the prosecution in the Diddy case focus too much on salacious details & not enough on actual racketeering? @CNN correspondent @EWagmeister thinks so. #BlackOnTheAir #DiddyTrial instagram.com/reel/DL5-dFjSf…
