“They Canceled Colbert. And Now All Hell’s Breaking Loose on Late Night.”
Jimmy Fallon, Kimmel, Oliver, and Meyers Are Crossing Networks to Defend Stephen Colbert — And What’s Coming Monday Night Might Be the Loudest Protest in Comedy History
They weren’t meant to be on the same stage.
They weren’t even meant to be on the same side.
But when CBS canceled “The Late Show” just days after Colbert mocked a $16M deal, the response wasn’t a whisper — it was a late-night rebellion.
Jimmy Fallon is crossing the street.
Jimmy Kimmel broke his vacation silence.
Seth Meyers is already crafting punchlines.
And John Oliver? He just called it what it is: a loss for everyone.
No network rivalry. No scripts. No pretending it’s all just TV.
Just four men with mics… and something to say.
So what’s really happening behind that curtain at the Ed Sullivan Theater?
And why is everyone in comedy suddenly showing up — but not laughing?
When Monday night arrives, it won’t just be Colbert’s farewell — It might be the moment network comedy stops playing nice.
