Carlson’s extensive experience in television and his knack for engaging audiences will be instrumental in shaping the show’s identity. His partnership with Owens is seen as a powerful combination that could redefine late-night television.
For nearly two decades, “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” has been a fixture of ABC’s late-night programming, known for its humor, celebrity interviews, and political satire. However, Kimmel’s increasingly political commentary has polarized audiences, prompting ABC to seek a change.
Replacing Kimmel with Carlson and Owens signals ABC’s commitment to offering a more balanced range of perspectives. While some fans of Kimmel may be disappointed, the network believes “The New Late Night” will attract a broader audience and foster more inclusive discussions.
The announcement has sparked a variety of reactions within the entertainment industry. Supporters of Carlson and Owens have praised ABC for its bold move, while critics have voiced concerns about the new show’s potential to polarize viewers.
