Synovus Financial weighs merger options after drawing interest - Bloomberg
Investing.com -- President Donald Trump predicted that Jimmy Kimmel and Jimmy Fallon will be the next late-night hosts to leave television, following the recent cancellation of "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert."
In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump wrote: "The word is, and it’s a strong word at that, Jimmy Kimmel is NEXT to go in the untalented Late Night Sweepstakes and, shortly thereafter, Fallon will be gone."
Trump criticized the hosts as having "absolutely NO TALENT" while being paid millions of dollars for "destroying what used to be GREAT Television." He added, "It’s really good to see them go, and I hope I played a major part in it!"
The comments come after CBS announced the end of Colbert’s show this week. The cancellation occurred days after Colbert accused the network’s owner of bribing President Trump to approve a merger.
The announcement sparked allegations of political interference from liberal politicians and entertainers. However, CBS executives stated the decision was "purely a financial decision against a challenging backdrop in late night" and not related to "the show’s performance, content or other matters happening at Paramount."
Late-night television has been facing survival challenges even before Colbert’s show was canceled.
