Highlights from Late Night Shows

Friendly Competition in Late Night

On Wednesday, Jimmy Kimmel announced that “Jimmy Kimmel Live” would not air on Thursday. This decision is made out of respect for Stephen Colbert and the team at “The Late Show,” as their final episode on CBS is scheduled at the same time. Kimmel noted the amicable relationship between the shows, stating, “Everyone at that show has always been very gracious to us.” He expressed displeasure with how “The Late Show” is being pushed out and encouraged his viewers to watch their finale.

“I hope that those of you who watch also will also tune in to CBS for the last time. Don’t ever watch it again.” — JIMMY KIMMEL

“What are we going to do with a 94-year-old prisoner? That guy won’t make it to the end of his next cigar.” — JIMMY KIMMEL
