fortunately, there are so many of them that there's a chance they won't be able to move on the next group. lol

And canaries #3 and #4 seem to already be lined up. From CNN's article:

“Great News for America: The ratings challenged Jimmy Kimmel Show is CANCELLED. Congratulations to ABC for finally having the courage to do what had to be done,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social on Wednesday night. “Kimmel has ZERO talent, and worse ratings than even Colbert, if that’s possible. That leaves Jimmy and Seth, two total losers, on Fake News NBC. Their ratings are also horrible. Do it NBC!!!”

Jimmy and Seth are both so so so much worse hosts than Colbert and Kimmel. As a millennial its been insane to watch Kimmel's career path and person growth from when I was first introduced to him in the Man Show.
