zz 📢 BREAKING NEWS: Late-night “Strike Force” unites again as Kimmel and Colbert torch Trump over Epstein files, asylum scandal, and shutdown chaos🔥

Donald Trump is panicking — and for once, he’s not tweeting, posting, or raging in public. On a Thanksgiving when he’d usually be ranting like a man glued to his own reflection, he’s suddenly gone quiet. No Truth Social tirades. No “witch hunt” meltdowns. Just a nervous silence hanging over Mar-a-Lago.

Why?
Because two of the most powerful voices in late-night TV — Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert — have turned their friendship into a full-blown alliance, and they’re using every camera, every monologue, and every punchline to go after what they say is Trump’s corruption, hypocrisy, and abuse of power.

And he hates it.

These aren’t just comedians telling jokes. This is a coordinated cultural counterattack.

Kimmel and Colbert have been tearing into Trump’s “regime” for stonewalling the release of the Epstein files, playing political games with asylum, and turning national security into a clown show staffed with loyalists instead of experts. In the commentary you’re hearing, Trump’s inner circle is portrayed as a “pedo protection program,” and the rage boiling over on Thanksgiving isn’t about turkey prices — it’s about a system people feel is rigged, hidden, and rotten.

Colbert, ever the historian of absurdity, mocks the congressional dance around the Epstein records. The House vote to release them passes 427–1, and he zeroes in on that one no vote with a mocking “Who could that possibly be?” before launching into a fantasy about trolls under bridges and riddles about golf carts, cankles, and secret files. It’s sharp, theatrical, and devastating — the kind of comedy that leaves a mark.

Kimmel, meanwhile, goes straight for Trump’s ego. He plays clips of Trump bragging he “ended eight wars,” a claim so cartoonish that Kimmel compares it to someone insisting they invented the concept of Tuesday. He ridicules Trump’s raspy voice, his random tirades about trade, even his obsession with building a ballroom in the White House like it’s a tacky wedding venue. Trump’s presidency, Kimmel suggests, wasn’t a serious administration — it was a real estate pitch that never ended.

And then comes the money shot: Trump hawking “Trump Time” watches on TV like a late-night salesman, while his supporters complain online that their orders never even arrived. Kimmel doesn’t even have to exaggerate. He just reads the reviews and lets reality roast itself.

But here’s where the story turns from comedy into open resistance.

Back in 2023, during the Writers Guild strike, Kimmel, Colbert, Jimmy Fallon, Seth Meyers, and John Oliver launched the Strike Force 5 podcast to support their staffs. What started as a strike project became something deeper — a brotherhood. They met weekly, backed each other publicly, and raised money for their teams. Kimmel later referred to Colbert as his “podcast brother” and promised to defend him.

He meant it.

When Trump went after Kimmel over the Oscars, Colbert hit back on The Late Show. When Trump tried to crush Colbert with legal and political pressure, Kimmel returned the favor. Their shows might air on different networks, but on Trump, they speak as one.

In the narrative laid out here, Trump is depicted using every lever he can reach — friendly media, government power, lawsuits, even the FCC — to intimidate critics and bury uncomfortable stories. And yet, Kimmel and Colbert keep coming. The more he swings at them, the more united they become.

The result? Trump, a man who thrives on attention, suddenly looks small: a watch salesman angry at comedians, a would-be strongman rattled by monologues.

By the end of this exposé, one thing is crystal clear:
Late-night TV isn’t just entertainment anymore. It’s a frontline in the battle over free speech, propaganda, and power.

Trump tried to silence them.
They responded with the four words authoritarians hate most:
“We’re not afraid of you.”

And as long as the Kimmel–Colbert alliance holds, every attempt to muzzle them will only make their voices louder.
