ST.“He’s About to Be the Next Jimmy Kimmel”—Jason Kelce Calls Out Stephen Colbert After That ‘Unspeakable’ Live TV Moment and a History of Disrespect

The world of late-night TV thrives on drama, but rarely does it cross so many lines at once. This week, an explosive moment erupted when Stephen Colbert called former President Donald Trump an “autocrat”—a word loaded with controversy—during a bold monologue on national television. But what caught even more attention was the reaction from NFL star Jason Kelce, who didn’t just take issue with Colbert’s words, but also with the late-night host’s long history of mockery and disrespect toward the Kelce brothers.

Stephen Colbert has never been one to shy away from controversy, but this time he may have gone too far. During a heated segment, Colbert openly labeled Donald Trump an “autocrat”—a move that instantly set social media on fire. While many applauded his honesty, others warned he was treading dangerous ground, especially in the wake of Jimmy Kimmel’s recent suspension over similarly controversial comments.

Colbert’s words weren’t just another joke—they carried real weight, pushing the boundaries of what’s considered acceptable even in the raucous world of late-night television. As headlines exploded, fans and critics alike wondered: Would Colbert face the same fate as Jimmy Kimmel?

The Kelce-Colbert Rivalry Runs Deep

For Jason Kelce and his brother Travis, this wasn’t just about politics. Their history with Stephen Colbert has been rocky at best. In the past, Colbert has used his platform to poke fun at the Kelce brothers, sometimes crossing the line from playful ribbing into outright mockery.

One moment still fresh in fans’ minds is when Colbert openly mocked the Kelce brothers’ much-hyped “nutritious” cereal collaboration on his show, calling it “the only thing drier than the Eagles’ offense.” For Jason, it felt like more than a joke—it was a public slight from a host who never seemed to show them real respect.

Jason Kelce Speaks Out: “He’s About to Be the Next Jimmy Kimmel”

This week, as Colbert’s “autocrat” comment went viral, Jason Kelce broke his silence. In a candid moment that’s already making waves, Kelce said:

“Stephen Colbert’s about to be the next Jimmy Kimmel. You cross certain lines, and there’s always a price. He’s never respected us, and now he’s risking his own place on TV.”

Kelce’s words cut deeper than any late-night punchline. He didn’t just see Colbert’s latest moment as a political stand, but as a warning to anyone who thinks they’re untouchable on television.

Why Kelce’s Response Matters

Jason Kelce’s reaction resonated with fans and viewers across the country. For many, it was refreshing to see someone outside the Hollywood bubble call out the double standards and rivalries that fuel late-night TV. Kelce’s willingness to speak his mind—even when it meant revisiting old wounds—became a rallying point for those who feel left out of the media conversation.

His message was simple: Respect matters. Boundaries matter. And when even comedians ignore those, there are consequences.

Fans Rally Behind the Kelces

Social media lit up with support for Jason and Travis Kelce, as fans remembered the cereal mockery and other digs from Colbert. Many felt that the Kelce brothers had been easy targets for late-night comedy, and Jason’s response was a long time coming.

• “Finally, someone calls out Colbert for being too arrogant.”
• “Respect isn’t a joke, even if you’re a comedian.”
• “Go Jason! The Kelce brothers deserve better.”

The State of Late-Night TV: Is Anyone Safe?

With Jimmy Kimmel suspended and Stephen Colbert now under fire, many are asking what the future holds for late-night television. The stakes have never been higher. Hosts who once felt invincible are finding that words—even jokes—can have real consequences.

Kelce’s pointed warning—“He’s about to be the next Jimmy Kimmel”—has struck a chord, serving as both a critique and a prediction for what may come next in late-night TV.

Final Thoughts: When Rivalries and Respect Collide

This latest drama isn’t just about Colbert, Kimmel, or even the Kelce brothers. It’s about respect, boundaries, and the power of words in the most public arenas. As the story continues to unfold, one thing is certain: Jason Kelce’s stand has reignited the debate about what we expect from our comedians—and whether even the most powerful hosts are safe from the fallout of crossing the line.

For now, late-night TV has never felt more unpredictable. And with voices like Jason Kelce’s refusing to stay silent, the world will be watching to see who’s next.
