    So what's wrong with just saying "we wanted him but just couldn't come
    to terms"?

        The timing is such that there may be more to it. After all CBS /
    Paramount came to an agreement with Trump in his lawsuit recently and
    now they are ending the show (though admittedly probably waiting till
    Colbert's contract is up.) So there's at least the possibility that
    this is another result of that lawsuit.

  Wonder what big moneymaker CBS has in mind after May 2026 -- CSI

    Do you cry along with him whenever he gets weepy over Trump?

Was that weepiness why Trump told CBS to fire him?

 Kimmel is on ABC and he hasn't been fired.
