Jimmy Fallon bailed on a high-profile New York festival panel just 30 minutes before showtime, adding more drama to an already wild week in late-night TV, where Jimmy Kimmel is suspended, Stephen Colbert is canceled, and Donald Trump is popping champagne on Truth Social.
Attendees at the Fast Company Innovation Festival got a last-minute email: Fallon, who was due to speak on a panel called Staying ‘On Brand’, was suddenly “no longer able to attend.” No reason was given, but the timing could not have been more awkward.
The fallout follows ABC’s decision to suspend Jimmy Kimmel Live! after the host torched Trump’s response to Charlie Kirk’s assassination, calling it childish. Meanwhile, CBS confirmed Colbert’s Late Show will shut down in 2026 after the host slammed Paramount over its $16 million settlement with Trump.
On Truth Social, Trump mocked the trio, crowing that Kimmel’s ouster was “great news” and predicting Fallon and Seth Meyers are next. He called them “total losers” with “horrible ratings.” Fallon, so far, has kept quiet — but his vanishing act at the festival is fueling speculation.
Kimmel is suspended, Colbert is counting down, and Fallon is dodging public appearances. For now, Fallon’s Tonight Show remains on NBC’s schedule. But the shake-up suggests the late-night comedy landscape is crumbling faster than a bad monologue.
