Jimmy Kimmel's late-night show has been pulled off the air indefinitely following comments he made in the wake of Charlie Kirk's murder. After the announcement, President Donald Trump urged other networks to cast a wide net.
Trump took to Truth Social late Wednesday, Sept. 17, to deride Kimmel's ratings and throw some spare shots at Stephen Colbert, Seth Meyers and Jimmy Fallon.
"Kimmel has ZERO talent, and worse ratings than even Colbert, if that’s possible," Trump wrote. "That leaves Jimmy and Seth, two total losers, on Fake News NBC. Their ratings are also horrible. Do it NBC!!!"
But his words are far from the first case of tension between the president and late-night TV hosts, who've long used Trump as the punchline in their monologues and frequently criticized his policies. Here are some of the most memorable moments in his long-running beef with the hosts of late-night TV.
CBS announced in July the network was terminating "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" after the 2025-2026 TV season, ostensibly because of finances, although Trump and conservatives celebrated.
