Talk show hosts have faced a challenging year, but they are finding ways to support each other. Stephen Colbert, recently returning from New Zealand after his time on The Late Show, has taken it upon himself to endorse Jimmy Kimmel for an Emmy. Colbert, in an Instagram video, encourages viewers to vote for Kimmel in the Outstanding Variety Series category, emphasizing Kimmel's deserving nature regardless of whether they have seen his show.
This act of support comes after CBS released their own campaign for The Late Show, which was canceled in the wake of controversy. Kimmel, who has also faced backlash from the Trump administration and corporate retaliation, stands firm in his fight. However, this year's Emmy voting is unique as the Outstanding Variety Series category allows for multiple nominees to win.
Kimmel has even invited Colbert to guest host his show, and Kimmel's late night program has become the top-rated late-night show following The Late Show with Stephen Colbert's finale.
