"Colbert mocked the further extension of the ceasefire as proof that the war wasn't ending anytime soon, quipping, 'I'm beginning to think this war might not be over by Memorial Day.'"
"Colbert pulled out a prop box labelled Iran War Jokes, humorously instructing producers to mail it to Kimmel, saying, 'Enjoy, buddy. It's coming to you.'"
"The cancellation of Colbert's show came shortly after CBS's $16 million settlement with Trump, which Colbert criticized as a 'big fat bribe.'"
Stephen Colbert sent Jimmy Kimmel a package of backup jokes about the Iran conflict, humorously suggesting the war would continue beyond his show's end in May. This skit followed President Trump's extension of a ceasefire with Iran, indicating stalled peace negotiations. Colbert's comedic bit also served as a jab at CBS, which announced the cancellation of his show after over a decade. His final episode is scheduled for May 21, shortly after CBS's settlement with Trump regarding a 60 Minutes interview.
