College Football Broadcaster Doesn't Hold Back On Jimmy Kimmel

Late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel has become a very polarizing figure over the years, there's no question about it.

Earlier this week, CBS announced that "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" will end in May 2026. Kimmel ripped the network for canceling Colbert's show. Colbert, however, had a much different reaction to this decision. 

"It's not just the end of our show, but it's the end of 'The Late Show' on CBS," Colbert said. "I'm not being replaced. This is all just going away. And I do want to say ... that the folks at CBS have been great partners. I'm so grateful to the Tiffany Network for giving me this chair and this beautiful theater to call home. And of course I'm grateful to you, the audience, who have joined us every night."

College football broadcaster Tim Brando made it known on Friday that he won't miss seeing Colbert on national television. 

Brandon also made it clear that he's not fond of Kimmel. In fact, he referred to the ABC host as "disgusting."

We're not kidding. 

"Long overdue imo. I enjoyed David Letterman as much as anyone but towards the end he became politically pompous and Colbert who was actually funny once on the Daily Show was totally unwatchable when he took over The Late Show," Brando wrote on X. "Jimmy Kimmel another once funny guy is disgusting too!"

Some people criticized Brando for his opinion of Kimmel, accusing him of being "full MAGA." He made sure to fire back at those people. 

"See ya then…if that’s all it takes to unravel your opinion of me as a human being and sportscaster? That’s shallow," Brando said. 

It's safe to say Brando won't be losing sleep over online trolls.
