Jimmy Kimmel, who works for ABC, is encouraging his viewers to never watch CBS again.<\/p>\n
\u201cOn behalf of everyone at our show, we want to say to everyone at your show: It has been a pleasure to work alongside you. I will be watching tomorrow night. I hope that those of you who watch our show will also tune in to CBS for the last time. Don\u2019t ever watch it again,” Kimmel said.<\/p>\n
CBS, of course, is one of the biggest networks in the world. It’s home to several major sporting events, including the NCAA Tournament, The Masters, and hundreds of NFL<\/a> games each year.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n Many, though, are encouraging everyone to “boycott” CBS – and that includes NFL games this fall.<\/p>\n “Boycott CBS, Paramount and any Ellison product,” one wrote.<\/p>\n “Thank you Stephen Colbert. No reason to watch CBS anymore,” one added.<\/p>\n “I am torn on this. If we boycott CBS, thousands of innocent people will lose their jobs,” another person added.<\/p>\n “CBS canceled Stephen Colbert to appease Trump. Now a growing movement across the United States is calling for a boycott of CBS. Do you support it?” another shared.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n Would NFL fans actually boycott CBS?<\/p>\n While many people might opt against watching whatever CBS puts in Stephen Colbert’s timeslot, it’s highly unlikely that NFL fans would willingly not watch football in order to prove a point.<\/p>\n Nothing in American entertainment is as big as the NFL. It’s consistently the most-watched live event on TV.<\/p>\n It’ll be interesting to see if the “boycott CBS” movement pushes into the football season, but it’s unlikely to make a serious mark in the NFL ratings department.<\/p>\n This story was originally published by The Spun<\/a> on May 24, 2026, where it first appeared in the Sports Media<\/a> section.
