Jimmy Kimmel is taking time out of his vacation to protest against President Donald Trump amid “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert’s” cancellation and the president’s prediction Kimmel is on the chopping block, too.

The 57-year-old host shared a photo of himself at an anti-Trump protest with his family just days after the president threatened his show could be “next.”

“I absolutely love that Colbert got fired. I hear Jimmy Kimmel is next,” Trump wrote on Truth Social post. “Has even less talent than Colbert!”

Trump also took a shot at late-night host Jimmy Fallon, adding he is “the Moron on NBC who ruined the once great Tonight Show.”

Kimmel responded to the president’s threats with a pointed caption writing, “May every day be another wonderful secret,” he said referencing the letter Trump allegedly wrote to Jeffrey Epstein.

In the post, Kimmel is photographed with his wife and children as they hold signs that include the phrases, “Don’t bend the knee, “Make America Good Again” and “I wish we had a better president!”

This all comes amid the abrupt announcement that Stephen Colbert’s “The Late Show” would end next year after 10 seasons. The ending of the longtime show raised the eyebrows of many given the timing. Earlier this month, Paramount settled a $16 million settlement with Trump after the president accused the network of giving a flatting edit to a “60 Minutes” interview with Kamala Harris.

Paramount released a statement insisting that ending “The Late Show” is “purely a financial decision against a challenging backdrop in late night.”

The network also said the decision was “not related in any way to the show’s performance, content or other matters happening at Paramount.”
