Jimmy Kimmel Urges Viewers to "Never Watch CBS Again" After Colbert Finale

[Coventina]

Jimmy Kimmel gave some advice to his viewers on the eve of his friend and late-night rival Stephen Colbert‘s final episode of The Late Show.

The ABC Jimmy Kimmel Live! host urged his fans Wednesday night to tune in for Colbert’s final episode — then to never watch CBS again.

“We will be off tomorrow night out of respect for our colleague and friend Stephen Colbert, and the writers, producers, and staff and crew at The Late Show, whose final show on CBS airs opposite ours,” Kimmel said during the opening of his monologue (below).

“I think you know how I feel about the fact that they’re being pushed out,” he noted. “I hope the people who did the pushing feel ashamed of themselves tonight — although I know they probably won’t.”

1. A nice move by Jimmy. 👍

2. I long ago passed the point where I could possibly watch CBS any less. There's nothing on that channel. nt

3. We need to launch a massive appeal to do just that

Total block out of CBS. They thought they were "losing" money with Colbert? Watch this!

4. Sorry, can't do it

I haven’t watched it in years and don’t intend to start just so I can quit.

5. Isn't he great, Jimmy?

I love it so much that he said this, so important.
