Jimmy Kimmel and his family took a stand with his family, protesting President Donald Trump following the cancelation of Stephen Colbert’s late-night show.

Kimmel, who is currently on vacation from his own late-night talk show, attended a protest with his wife, Molly McNearney, and their two children. The family held up signs that said things like "Don't bend the knee," "Make America Good Again," and "I wish we had a better president!"

The late-night host posted the photo on his Instagram, with the caption, “May every day be another wonderful secret,” referring to a line from a letter Trump allegedly wrote to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, per The Wall Street Journal.

The protest comes after the abrupt cancelation of “The Late Show,” hosted by Stephen Colbert.

CBS’ parent company, Paramount, said it was a “purely financial decision.”

But many have speculated the move was also politically motivated after Colbert criticized Paramount’s settlement with Trump for $16 million in the president’s lawsuit against the company, claiming “60 Minutes” deceptively edited an interview with 2024 presidential candidate Kamala Harris. Paramount is in the middle of a merger with entertainment company Skydance, a deal that needs the approval of the Trump administration.

When the news broke of Colbert’s cancelation, Kimmel slammed CBS on his Instagram stories, writing "F--- you and all your Sheldons, CBS.”

Meanwhile, Trump celebrated the news in a Truth Social post.

“I absolutely love that Colbert’ got fired. His talent was even less than his ratings,” Trump wrote. “I hear Jimmy Kimmel is next. Has even less talent than Colbert! Greg Gutfeld is better than all of them combined, including the Moron on NBC who ruined the once great Tonight Show,” Trump wrote.
