Overview

  • In a TikTok rant on July 19, O’Donnell accused President Trump of orchestrating the cancellation of The Late Show to silence dissent and claimed without evidence that he suffers from dementia.
  • CBS denies any political motive, stating that The Late Show will end in May 2026 for financial reasons tied to its pending merger with Skydance Media.
  • Trump’s Truth Social post threatened to revoke O’Donnell’s U.S. citizenship—a power scholars agree he does not possess under the Constitution.
  • The White House physician declared the president fully fit after a comprehensive exam, highlighting a perfect score on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment despite a chronic venous insufficiency diagnosis.
  • Fans have speculated that Paramount’s recent $16 million settlement with Trump over a 60 Minutes lawsuit and its Skydance merger influenced CBS’s cancellation decision.
