Jimmy Kimmel, Stephen Colbert in the shows of others: 5 best moments

The night night circuit obtained its version of a unique cross event on Tuesday night when Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert appeared as guests in the shows of others.

It was an appropriate trick considering that both interview programs presenters have been at the center of notable professional situations wrapped in political and national importance, and both orbit in the same universe of the contempt of President Trump. The two hosts, who have supported vocally through the respective tests in their programs, could now continue with mutual support with all their strength, face to face.

Following the consequences of Kimmel's suspension earlier this month for the comments he made related to the death of conservative expert Charlie Kirk, the recently reinstalled host that came forward to transfer his program based in Los Angeles to Brooklyn for a week as planned, with Colbert among the list of guests Star studies. Colbert was effusive in his support for Kimmel after ABC advanced to his interview program, criticizing the decision as “shameless censorship.”

Meanwhile, Kimmel appeared in “The Late Show”, next to Pop star Sam Smith. Earlier this year, CBS announced that he was canceling “The Late Show” and would end after the season of the season in May 2026, marking not only the end of Colbert's race to the helm, but also approaching the night institution after a 30 -year race. The decision, the company said, was due to financial reasons and not, as many have speculated, due to Colbert's criticisms of an agreement between the Trump and Paramount administration, the CBS parent company, the network that is broadcast “The Late Show”, a 2024 “60 minutes” interview with former Vice President Kamala Harris. Kimmel was one of the many who expressed disdain for the decision, even campaigning for Colbert to win an Emmy, although Kimmel was in the same vote. (Colbert finally won).

Before Kimmel's appearance in “The Late Show”, Colbert was host of another night presenter, Conan O'Brien, who appeared as a Guest MondayOpening the conversation with “Stephen, how is it at night? What's happening? I have been out of it, put me what is happening.”

“I will send you the obituary,” Colbert replied.

Here are five prominent moments of the night of shared complaints.

Colbert says that 'he sweated through his shirt' the day he told his staff that 'The Late Show' was canceled

In his first sitting interview since the “The Late Show” was canceled, Colbert went to Kimmel through the timeline of the cancellation of his program. He said he received the news from his mutual manager, James Dixon, after the recording of his program on July 16. He arrived at his wife, Evie McGee-Colbert, two and a half hours later. While entering the apartment, according to Colbert, his wife said: “What happened? Do they cancel you?”

Dixon knew for a week, but he had hesitated to transmit the news to Colbert, who was on vacation. Once he learned about the destination of the program, Colbert said he wasn't sure when he should give the news to his staff, discussing whether to wait until after summer holidays or in September. However, his wife said he would tell them the next day.

“We entered the building,” he said, “I go up with the elevator, I pass through the offices. For the time I arrive at my offices, I sweat through my shirt because I didn't want to know anything about my staff.

He only told executive producer Tom Purcell at the beginning. The whole show passed. And then he asked the public and staff to stay for another act to be able to record the announcement.

“My stage director says: 'Oh no, we have finished, Steve, we have finished.' They told everyone as briefly as I could not find out about that in the air. Because I always was wrong in the prayer that told them what was happening.

Kimmel, in turn, shared that he learned of the cancellation of “The Late Show” while attending a NO Kings protest march.

Kimmel says he took ABC's call on his bath suspension

Like Colbert, on Tuesday he scored the first time that Kimmel was interviewed since his suspension earlier this month, and detailed the day he received the news that he was being taken from the air.

Kimmel's office is busy: there are approximately five other people working there with him at all times, he told Colbert. So, when ABC executives wanted to talk to him less than two hours before he was recorded in the episode of that night, Kimmel turned to the bathroom to attend the call in private.

“I am talking on the phone with ABC executives, and they say: 'Listen, we want to knock down the temperature. We are worried about what you are going to say tonight, and we decided that the best route is to remove the air show,” Kimmel said before the audience intervened with boos.

“There was a vote, and I lost the vote, so I put my pants again and went out to my office,” before telling some of his producer team the news, he said. “My wife said it was whiter than Jim Gaffigan when I left.”

The decision about Kimmel's suspension came so late on the day that the audience was already in its seats and had to be sent home, Kimmel told Colbert.

A sign of the times?

While promoting the cross event in his monologue (“we thought it could be a fun way to replace the president, so …”), Kimmel took the time to stress the support land of support that Colbert has both in New York, where he makes his program, and in the start of Kimmel of Los Angeles to try it, the cut of a photo that shows the signs that were shown on 101 Kimmel returned to Kimmel, when Kimmel was the air. They said: “Public pressure works: Kimmel has returned!”

“And this is the signal that is above,” Kimmel continued, reducing the video of the most recent signaling on the highway. “He says:” Now he does Colbert. “

Gavin Newsom traveled to Brooklyn. Or he?

The governor of California, who is also the moonlight (by power of his social media team) as the unofficial No. 1 Troll Troll, made the field trip through Brooklyn to surprise Kimmel on stage. Or he? As the host mentioned the latest chest of the politician in Trump during his monologue, Newsom crossed the stage on a bicycle before finding his place next to Kimmel for a spiel of approximately six minutes, delivered in his best brother of California, in his mission of joining people.

“The New York, we are not so different,” said Newsom. “I mean, we both just want to be free of smoking marijuana while driving our electric scooters to a drag queen brunch.”

While Kimmel pressed how exactly they can succeed in joining, a Newsom in vegetation replied: “We started, dog. These people understand it. They have their own night hosts here in New York, but tonight they chose my friend of the angels, they could be partying with my guy, J-Fall and the roots team, they are a political flag … Oliver or J-Stew or presenting his respects to Colbert before he is sent to Guantanamo gay, or could have been and have seen what Seth Meyers is doing …

Cue a special appearance of Seth Meyers, Kimmel's friend and her fellow night host to control … her brother? For the connoisseurs of the night that are not at night, read this: Meyers's brother, Josh, interpreted the “Covid Bro” version of Newsom during the pandemic in sketches that was issued in “Late Night With Meyers” of NBC. Newsom wore the gag on Tuesday, impersonating Josh to impersonate the Kimmel stage.

“We are Bros, but no, we are not,” Josh said. “Look, I understand this all the time, probably because we are both very hot.”

Meanwhile, maintaining planned discomfort, Kimmel took the opportunity to mention Meyers who was in the city if he wanted to have dinner. Meyers replied: “What happened to your program? I thought everything was, you know …”

“We are back in the air,” Kimmel said. “We are back now.”

It should also be taken into account that Kimmel, Colbert and Meyers posed for a photo on stage and uploaded it to their respective social media accounts with the title, “Hello Donald!”

Guillermo brings fun (and tequila)

Looking to the future in the remaining months, Colbert will be in the air, Kimmel asked the host when he was going to “go crazy” and suggested that he lose his glasses and “maybe do a little Ayahuasca on the set.” Kimmel then gave him a Bong with a design of the statue of liberty, which called a “chemistry set.”

Colbert began playing unbuttoning his blazer and saying “F— that” a sign that he only had a minute in the segment. (“What are they going to do, cancel me?” Colbert asked). Then, as if it were just on the signal, Guillermo Rodríguez, friend of Kimmel and a companion in his program, took the stage with Tequila (and three sunglasses) in his hand.

In Don Julio's first round, Colbert made a toast: “For good friends, excellent work and night television.”

Colbert then poured another round and Kimmel took out the Bong that he had given to the host. The group took a further shot and Kimmel gave Colbert.

Guillermo, who received a round of crowds, is known for giving photos and giving with A-Listers at the Hollywood awards and other events.
