Jimmy Kimmel criticizes CBS after longtime journalist Scott Pelley is removed from the newsmagazine “60 Minutes,” describing CBS executives as “Trump suck-ups” and calling the decision “cowardly.” Multiple outlets report that Pelley’s firing follows his public criticism of CBS leadership. Pelley had accused newly appointed CBS News boss Bari Weiss of “murdering” the show and criticized newly installed executive producer Nick Bilton, questioning his qualifications. Kimmel’s comments defend Pelley and frame the move as retaliation for expressing concerns about journalism and the direction of the program. The coverage describes how Kimmel targets CBS leadership figures, including Bilton and Weiss, while emphasizing that Pelley’s removal comes after his contentious statements about management and editorial control. The reports do not include a CBS response in the provided excerpts, focusing instead on Kimmel’s reaction and the prior remarks attributed to Pelley. Overall, the accounts align on the sequence: Pelley publicly criticizes CBS leadership, and shortly afterward he is fired from “60 Minutes,” prompting Kimmel’s public backlash.
