On Tuesday, Stephen Colbert made his debut as a guest on Jimmy Kimmel's late night show. However, Kimmel cautioned his viewers against informing President Trump of their shared presence due to the potential for a military response. At the start of the show, Kimmel made light of the fact that Kimmel's program had yet to win an Emmy in 15 years, losing this time to Colbert.

Despite this, Kimmel expressed enthusiasm for Colbert's presence, stating, "Don't tell Donald Trump... If he knows there are two of us here, he could call in an airstrike, or SEAL Team Six, or who the hell knows what."

Colbert, the host of "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert," won an Emmy for Outstanding Variety Series. During his acceptance speech, he expressed gratitude to his former guests and urged Hollywood to hire his former writers.
