LOS ANGELES, United States, Sept 18, 2025 (AFP) - Donald Trump on Wednesday hailed the cancellation of Jimmy Kimmel's late-night show as "great news for America" as he celebrated the departure of a comedian who is bitingly critical of the US president.

"Great News for America: The ratings challenged Jimmy Kimmel Show is CANCELLED," Trump wrote on his social media site. "Congratulations to ABC for finally having the courage to do what had to be done. Kimmel has ZERO talent, and worse ratings than even Colbert, if that's possible,"
