\n\tJimmy Fallon is going dark on Stephen Colbert\u2019s last day as a late-night host.<\/p>\n

\n\tInstead of producing a new episode, NBC will air a rerun of \u201cThe Tonight Show\u201d on May 21, which marks the final episode of Colber\u2019s \u201cLate Show\u201d following its cancellation by CBS last year. Fallon joins Jimmy Kimmel in the show of late-night solidarity, as ABC confirmed on Monday that \u201cJimmy Kimmel Live!\u201d would be bowing out to give \u201cThe Late Show\u201d its largest possible audience on its last night.<\/p>\n

\n\tKimmel and Fallon, alongside \u201cLate Night\u201d host Seth Meyers and \u201cLast Week Tonight\u201d host John Oliver, appeared on \u201cThe Late Show\u201d on Monday \u2014 a reunion of \u201cStrike Force Five,\u201d the podcast the five late-nighters hosted during the concurrent Writers Guild and SAG-AFTRA strikes in 2023. Proceeds from the podcast went toward supporting the crew members of all five late-night shows as they went without pay while production was paused.<\/p>\n

\n\tDuring their visit to \u201cThe Late Show,\u201d<\/a> Kimmel brought up his own suspension by Disney in the fall amid comments he made about the assassination of Charlie Kirk.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe have a lot of shows. 30,000 people watching each one, and it adds up. People watch us on YouTube now. People have a lot of different options and they keep coming to us,\u201d he said. \u201cI will tell you, when I got knocked off the air for a few days, people canceled Disney+. Why aren\u2019t people canceling Paramount+? Because you never had it in the first place?\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jimmy Fallon is going dark on Stephen Colbert\u2019s last day as a late-night host.
