DrWeb<p><strong>Jamie Lee Curtis Thinks Colbert’s Cancellation Isn’t Just About Ratings — &amp; Her Words Are Chilling – sheknows</strong></p><a href="https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/articles/jamie-lee-curtis-thinks-colbert-165500209.html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"></a><p><a href="https://www.sheknows.com/tags/jamie-lee-curtis/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Jamie Lee Curtis</a> has a <a href="https://www.sheknows.com/health-and-wellness/articles/2814925/jamie-lee-curtis-climate-change-speech/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">sharp eye for patterns</a>. And this week, she’s spotting one most people would rather not say out loud.</p><p>After CBS announced that <em>The Late Show with <a href="https://www.sheknows.com/tags/stephen-colbert/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Stephen Colbert</a></em> will end in May 2026, the Oscar winner was blunt. “It’s bad,” she told the <a href="https://apnews.com/article/stephen-colbert-late-show-cbs-end-8bad9f16f076df62c0ffc50e9c8adbab" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Associated Press</a>. “He’s a great, great guy. They just cut NPR and, you know, public broadcasting. Yes, they’re trying to silence people. But that won’t work. We will just get louder.” It wasn’t just a statement of support. It was a warning, especially given everything else shaking out with media over the past week.</p><p>Colbert’s show is still number one in its time slot. CBS says the decision was financial, citing rising production costs and shrinking ad revenue across late night, <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2025/07/18/media/colbert-cbs-late-show-cancel-paramount-trump" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">per CNN</a>. But the timeline is hard to ignore. Paramount, CBS’s parent company, is currently pushing through a high-stakes merger with Skydance Media, led by David Ellison — a longtime Trump ally. That merger still needs sign-off from the Trump administration. Just days before Colbert’s cancellation was announced, CBS settled a lawsuit with Trump and agreed to allocate $16 million to his future presidential library. Trump celebrated the move online and hinted that other late-night hosts could be next.</p><p>So no, this isn’t just about the money. And Curtis knows it.</p><blockquote><p><strong><em>Editor’s Note: Read the rest of the story, at the below link.</em></strong></p></blockquote><p>Continue/Read Original Article Here: <em><a href="https://www.sheknows.com/entertainment/articles/1234904378/jamie-lee-curtis-colbert-cancellation-npr-cuts/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Jamie Lee Curtis Thinks Colbert’s Cancellation Isn’t Just About Ratings — &amp; Her Words Are Chilling</a></em></p> <p><a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/2025/" target="_blank">#2025</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/america/" target="_blank">#America</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/cancelled-show/" target="_blank">#CancelledShow</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/cbs/" target="_blank">#CBS</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/donald-trump/" target="_blank">#DonaldTrump</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/firing/" target="_blank">#Firing</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/history/" target="_blank">#History</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/jamie-lee-curtis/" target="_blank">#JamieLeeCurtis</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/libraries/" target="_blank">#Libraries</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/library-of-congress/" target="_blank">#LibraryOfCongress</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/opinion/" target="_blank">#Opinion</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/politics/" target="_blank">#Politics</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/resistance/" target="_blank">#Resistance</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/sheknows/" target="_blank">#sheknows</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/stephen-colbert/" target="_blank">#StephenColbert</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/television/" target="_blank">#Television</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/the-late-show/" target="_blank">#TheLateShow</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/trump/" target="_blank">#Trump</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/trump-administration/" target="_blank">#TrumpAdministration</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/united-states/" target="_blank">#UnitedStates</a></p>

“…that Trump and Stephen Miller are world class haters—really just his opinion, or verifiable fact?

In my view, Moran was just recognizing these two gentlemen for excelling in their chosen field.

It would be impossible to list all the times Trump and Miller have brought home the gold in the hating Olympics, but let me give a couple of examples…”
