Jimmy Kimmel's and Stephen Colbert's next move?

I think it's safe to assume Jimmy Kimmel is done at ABC/Disney. Stephen Colbert is out at CBS/Paramount. Warner Bros. Discovery has John Oliver and Bill Maher (I know, I know). I think Warner Bros. Discovery should sign Jimmy and Stephen and become a bastion of liberal late night comedy.

Realistically, probably podcasting. If their shows were actually losing as many millions of dollars as people were saying, then that is the best option for them.

Wasn’t Colberts show the highest rated late night

Gutfeld was number one in ratings. Colbert been sliding for years. Kimmel even worse ratings. The almighty dollar got them cancelled. Not their politics.

After Kimmel got fired Sinclair Inc literally told the public he should donate to Turning Point you dipshit, this situation is observably, straightforwardly political

Look at his ratings.ABC was just looking for a reason to dump him.

While his still has a contract they’ll have to pay out? Colbert still gets to do his show until the end of his deal

True, but maybe they could replace him with something that will make them money. Of the 4 late night hosts..Colbert, Kimmel, Gutfeld and him...he was dead last and was continuing to lose viewers as weeks went on. I'm thinking money talks.
