CBS Cancels Colbert Show, Trump Criticizes Hosts Including King

President Donald Trump has intensified his criticism of prominent television hosts, targeting CBS's Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel, and morning show host Gayle King. Trump celebrated CBS's decision to cancel 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,' calling Colbert and other late-night hosts 'talentless' and predicting further cancellations. Despite CBS attributing the cancellation to financial reasons unrelated to content or performance, the timing drew political attention, especially following Colbert's critical commentary on a settlement involving Trump and Paramount Global. Trump also declared Gayle King's career over, blaming her declining ratings and perceived 'woke' content on CBS Mornings, and urging that she should have supported him. Reports indicate CBS is moving away from polarizing and progressive content, seeking programming that better aligns with audience preferences, while Trump's attacks reflect his ongoing disputes with media figures critical of his administration. The network's decisions and Trump's remarks highlight the intersection of media, politics, and shifting cultural dynamics in American television.
