华盛顿5月22日电（路透社）——美国总统唐纳德·特朗普周五表示，在他称赞哥伦比亚广播公司（CBS）的《深夜秀》停播后，将有更多深夜脱口秀主持人下台。
特朗普曾多次向联邦通信委员会施压，要求撤销广播电视网的播出执照，还呼吁华特迪士尼公司（DIS.N）解雇ABC的深夜脱口秀主持人吉米·金梅尔，并敦促康卡斯特旗下的NBC（CMCSA.O）解雇主持人塞斯·梅耶斯。

“斯蒂芬·科伯特被CBS解雇，对于那些缺乏才华、恶毒刻薄、薪酬过高、毫无笑点且收视率极低的深夜电视主持人而言，这是‘末日的开端’，”特朗普在Truth Social上写道。“其他才华更逊的主持人很快也会步其后尘。愿他们都安息！”
科伯特主持的《深夜秀》连续11季蝉联收视率冠军。CBS去年表示将停播《深夜秀》，并将其归因于财务原因。自上世纪50年代以来便成为美国文化传统的深夜电视节目，多年来一直面临收视率和广告收入下滑的困境。
NBC、CBS和ABC周五未立即置评。
今年7月，CBS宣布停播科伯特的节目，而就在几天前，派拉蒙母公司同意就特朗普提起的一起诉讼达成1600万美元的和解。该诉讼起因是《60分钟》节目对时任副总统卡玛拉·哈里斯的采访被剪辑。此事发生几天后，联邦通信委员会批准了派拉蒙（PSKY.O）以80亿美元收购斯凯朗德的交易。
然而，停播这一收视冠军深夜脱口秀节目的决定引发了民主党人和其他批评人士的强烈抗议。他们指出，派拉蒙当时正寻求获得与斯凯朗德合并的审批。许多批评人士认为，此举是为了讨好本届政府，并将其视为违反第一修正案言论自由保护条款、压制政治讽刺的行为。
联邦通信委员会民主党委员安娜·戈麦斯周三表示，特朗普一直直言不讳地试图让他不喜欢的节目停播。
“本届政府容不下任何批评者，无论是深夜喜剧节目，还是《观点》栏目，”戈麦斯说。“他们正动用手中所有的监管手段来打压内容创作者。”
联邦通信委员会正在调查ABC的《观点》栏目是否违反了平等时间规则，该栏目曾采访过得克萨斯州民主党参议院候选人詹姆斯·塔拉里科。今年2月，CBS以联邦通信委员会1月的一项命令为由，禁止科伯特播出对塔拉里科的采访。
“唐纳德·特朗普政府想要压制所有在电视上批评特朗普的人，因为特朗普整天都在看电视，”科伯特当时说道。
上个月，特朗普以金梅尔的一则笑话为由要求将其解雇，但迪士尼拒绝了这一要求。一天后，联邦通信委员会主席布伦丹·卡尔下令对迪士尼旗下的8家ABC电视台进行极不寻常的提前执照审查。迪士尼必须在5月28日前提交执照续期申请。
2025年9月，卡尔施压广播公司停播金梅尔的节目。ABC曾短暂停播金梅尔的节目，原因是他就保守派活动家查理·柯克遇刺事件发表的言论。卡尔的此举遭到了跨党派的严厉批评。
卡尔否认科伯特是因政府压力而下台。“他就是不如以前受欢迎，也不如以前有趣了——如果他曾经有趣过的话，”卡尔今年3月告诉路透社。
去年11月特朗普呼吁NBC解雇梅耶斯时，卡尔在X平台上转发了这条言论。

Trump says more late night talk show hosts to depart after Colbert exit

WASHINGTON, May 22 (Reuters) – President Donald Trump said on Friday that more late-night talk shows will depart after he praised the end of CBS’s “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
Trump has repeatedly pressured the Federal Communications Commission to strip broadcast networks of their licenses, called on Walt Disney (DIS.N) to fire ABC late night host Jimmy Kimmel and urged Comcast’s NBC (CMCSA.O) to fire host Seth Meyers.

“Stephen Colbert’s firing from CBS was the ‘Beginning of the End’ for untalented, nasty, highly overpaid, not funny, and very poorly rated Late Night Television Hosts,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “Others, of even less talent, to soon follow. May they all Rest in Peace!”
Colbert hosted what has been the top-rated Late Show for 11 seasons. CBS last year said it was cancelling the “Late Show,” citing financial reasons. Late-night television, an American tradition since the 1950s, has been losing viewership and advertising dollars for years.
NBC, CBS and ABC did not immediately comment on Friday.
CBS announced in July that it was cancelling Colbert’s show just days after the company’s parent agreed to settle a lawsuit Trump filed against the company for $16 million over the editing of a “60 Minutes” interview with then-Vice President Kamala Harris. Days after that, the FCC approved Paramount’s (PSKY.O) $8 billion merger with Skydance.
The decision to end the top-rated late-night talk show sparked an outcry, however, from Democrats and other critics who noted that Paramount was seeking approval for its merger with Skydance at the time of the cancellation. Many critics suggested it was done to curry favor with the administration and saw it as a move to silence political satire in violation of the First Amendment’s free speech protection.
Democratic FCC Commissioner Anna Gomez said on Wednesday that Trump has been vocal about trying to get programming he dislikes off the air.
“This administration cannot tolerate any critics, whether it’s late-night comedies, whether it’s ‘The View’,” Gomez said. “They are using every regulatory lever in their arsenal to go after content.”
The FCC is investigating whether ABC’s “The View” violated equal time rules for an interview with Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico of Texas. CBS in February barred Colbert from airing an interview with Talarico, citing an FCC order in January.
“Donald Trump’s administration wants to silence anyone who says anything bad about Trump on TV, because all Trump does is watch TV,” Colbert said at the time.
Last month, Trump cited a joke from Kimmel as grounds for his dismissal, which Disney declined to do. A day later, FCC Chairman Brendan Carr ordered a highly unusual early license review of the company’s eight ABC television stations. Disney must file its license renewal applications by May 28.
In September 2025, Carr pressured broadcasters to take Kimmel off the air. ABC briefly suspended Kimmel’s show over comments he made about the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. Carr’s efforts drew sharp criticism from across the political spectrum.
Carr denied Colbert was forced off the air by government pressure. “He’s just not as popular or as funny as he once was, if he ever was,” Carr told Reuters in March.
When Trump called for NBC’s Meyers to be fired in November, Carr reposted it on X.
