'Career is over!' Trump celebrates report another major CBS star faces 'murky' future

President Donald Trump celebrated a report from The New York Post on Monday night that called talk show host Gayle King's future with her network into question.

The Post reported that King's ratings have "tanked" and that the co-CEO of Paramount, George Cheeks, has promoted a diversity, equity, and inclusion, or DEI, policy that has kept King on the air. The report cited "sources with knowledge of the situation." It added that King's contract is due to expire in May 2026.

One source told The Post that King and her producer have set an "agenda" for programming because of Cheeks.

"Gayle King’s career is over. She should have stayed with her belief in TRUMP," the president wrote on Truth Social in response to the story.

"She never had the courage to do so. No talent, no ratings, no strength!!!" the post continued.

King is the latest in a series of television hosts who have come under fire from the president. Recently, CBS comedian Stephen Colbert's eponymous show was cancelled just days before Paramount was approved to purchase CBS by Trump's Federal Communications Commission.

Trump has lashed out at other hosts, including Jimmy Kimmel and Seth Meyers, for their jokes as well.
