Jimmy Kimmel supports Stephen Colbert with Emmy billboard

Jimmy Kimmel has launched a billboard in West Hollywood endorsing fellow late-night host Stephen Colbert for an Emmy.

The ad, located on Sunset Boulevard, features a photo of Kimmel next to the words “I’m voting Stephen,” promoting The Late Show with Stephen Colbert for Outstanding Talk Series, an award for which Jimmy Kimmel Live! is also nominated.

The billboard appeared during the official Emmy voting window and coincides with recent news that CBS is canceling The Late Show as part of broader corporate restructuring.

Colbert’s program has been a consistent presence in the category and remains among the nominees this year.

Kimmel has not issued any public statement regarding the ad. The billboard itself is being interpreted as the message, in line with the often creative nature of “For Your Consideration” campaigns seen throughout awards season.

Both Kimmel and Colbert are long-established hosts in the late-night landscape, with multiple Emmy nominations and industry recognition.

While direct endorsements between nominees are uncommon, Emmy campaign billboards are widely used to gain visibility among voters in the Television Academy.

The Emmy Awards are scheduled for later this year, with final voting currently underway.

Kimmel’s billboard remains on display along Sunset Boulevard, a high-traffic location frequently used for award-season promotions targeted at entertainment professionals and Academy members.
