Jimmy Kimmel pushed on Monday against the posts that Stephen Colbert “Late Show” lost CBS 40 million a year, calling them completely false.
“I just want to say that the idea that Stephen Colbert’s show loses $ 40 million a year, goes beyond meaningless,” Kimmel said in an interview with Variety publish Monday. “These are supposedly insiders who allegedly analyze the show budgets – I don’t know who they are, but I know they don’t know what they are talking about.”
“They seem to be focused only on advertising revenues and have completely forgotten about partnerships, which are considered to be hundreds of millions, a total of billions-and you have to allocate a certain percentage of these payments on the show late at night,” he added.

“There is simply no chance of a snow ball in hell, which is where it is almost accurate. Even this is all you need to know,” he added. “Suddenly he loses $ 40 million a year? I will tell you that the first 10 years I have held the show, they claimed that we did not make any money – and we had five times more viewers on ABC than we now. Who knows what’s true? Everything I know, or all they pay us – and that’s all we need to know.”
Kimmeme also said he believed that the late night’s TV is far from dead.
“Network television is declining,” said Kimmeme Variety. “There’s no question about it. But more people are watching TV late night than ever before- and I include Johnny Carson. People can find it shocking. When Carson was at his peak, he received about 9 million spectators a night. This is huge.
