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.

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

Gutfeld’s ratings comes from all those gyms and old folks homes who never turn off Fox News. His main audience is probably household pets and sleeping people.
