Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.<\/a> praised a viral satirical X thread about Stephen Colbert, late-night TV and the decline of liberal comedy Saturday, using the post to take aim at Jimmy Kimmel as “The Late Show” era comes to an end.<\/p>\n

Kennedy framed the post as an explanation for why Kimmel has drawn backlash from conservatives<\/a> over comments about his job as a comedian.<\/p>\n

“Superb dissection of the shocking collapse of liberal comedy,” Kennedy wrote. “This is the best explanation of how we\u2019ve reached the nader where Late Night host Jimmy Kimmel<\/a> can say \u2018It\u2019s not my job to be funny.\u2019 As this author shows, he was hired as a comedian but he made himself a priest.”<\/p>\n

The post Kennedy amplified<\/a> was a satirical piece, written by Peter Girnus, who wrote the post as a fictional “Senior Vice President of Late Night Strategy at CBS.”<\/p>\n

Girnus centered the satire on Colbert’s shift<\/a> from his Comedy Central character to his late-show persona.<\/p>\n

“We killed the character and put the real man on stage. The real man was a lecturer. Earnest. Thoughtful. Correct about everything,” Girnus wrote. “Correct is not funny.”<\/p>\n

After Kennedy\u2019s praise, Girnus followed up by arguing that the problem was not just one host, but a culture that punished jokes outside liberal orthodoxy<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“Liberal comedy has become an excommunication system working as designed,” Girnus wrote.<\/p>\n

The broader fight came after Kimmel defended his political commentary last month on “IMO,” the podcast hosted by former first lady Michelle Obama<\/a> and Craig Robinson. Kimmel said he bristles when critics tell him his job is simply to make people laugh, Fox News Digital reported.<\/p>\n

“Don\u2019t tell me what my job is,” Kimmel said. “My job is whatever I decide my job is or whatever my employer allows me to do.”<\/p>\n

“I love when the audience laughs. There\u2019s nothing that\u2019s more exciting to me than that.”<\/p>\n

Girnus\u2019 response framed that tension as evidence that late-night comedy had become<\/a> a credentialing ritual for liberal viewers rather than unpredictable entertainment.<\/p>\n

“An echo chamber cannot produce comedy,” Girnus wrote. “Comedy is the act of saying what the room does not expect. An echo chamber is a room that punishes the unexpected.”<\/p>\n

CBS announced in July 2025 that “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert<\/a>” would end in May 2026 and that the franchise would be retired.<\/p>\n

The network called the move “purely a financial decision against a challenging backdrop in late night” and said it was “not related in any way to the show\u2019s performance, content or other matters happening at Paramount.”<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital reached out to ABC for comment but did not immediately receive a response.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
