Jimmy Kimmel took aim at Donald Trump on his CBS show, quipping about the president’s recent political moves and product line. ‘Don’t ever watch it again,’ Kimmel reportedly joked about a new CBS program following Stephen Colbert’s departure from The Late Show.

Trump Criticism and Satire

During the same show, Kimmel addressed Trump’s attempts to undermine dissent within his own party, including his criticism of Kentucky Rep. Thomas Massie, who was defeated in a primary. ‘He’ll ignore it like he avoids the weight limit on a golf cart,’ Kimmel said, referring to a House resolution limiting Trump’s Iran powers.

Trump’s controversial remarks on the Los Angeles mayoral race also drew Kimmel’s ire. The president claimed the election was rigged and that ‘Jesus would have to come down to count the votes.’ Kimmel responded with a question: ‘If Jesus came down, why would he come down to count votes?’

Trump has also launched a line of coins, prompting Kimmel to quip, ‘This economy is so bad even he needs a part-time job.’

Colbert’s Final Monologue

Stephen Colbert, in his penultimate Late Show monologue, mocked the long-awaited release of Trump’s gold cellphone, which finally hit shelves after a nine-month delay. ‘The only Trump item more disappointing after a nine-month wait was Eric,’ he said, referencing Trump’s son. Despite claims the phones would be made in the U.S., Colbert added, ‘Brace yourself.’ The phones are simply ‘designed with American values in mind.’

New Faces in Late Night

Meanwhile, Taylor Tomlinson has become the first woman to host a late-night show on CBS. At just 30 years old, she replaced James Corden in the 12:37 a.m. slot with After Midnight. Tomlinson represents a generational shift in late-night television, joining a lineup that includes Jimmy Fallon, Stephen Colbert, and Jimmy Kimmel.

In her debut episode, Tomlinson asked guests if they had watched the Emmys. When none had, she joked, ‘Nobody saw them. Is television dead? Great! On my first show…’

CBS is clearly trying to modernize the late-night format. After Midnight features a quiz-style format rather than the traditional monologue and celebrity interviews. The show emphasizes guest comedians’ reflexes and quick thinking, a departure from the usual political satire and promotional segments.

Tomlinson has already built a strong reputation in comedy with two Netflix specials and frequent appearances on popular podcasts. Her show is part of a broader strategy by CBS to attract younger viewers who increasingly favor social media over traditional television.
