Trump’s Call for Kimmel and Fallon Termination: No Impact on Crypto Markets

Donald Trump, former U.S. President, publicly called for Jimmy Kimmel and Jimmy Fallon to be fired from their late-night television shows on July 22, 2025.

The statement highlights Trump’s ongoing criticism of media personalities, though no discernible effects on the cryptocurrency markets or regulatory environments have been recorded.

Trump Labels Kimmel and Fallon’s Shows Lacking Talent

Former President Donald Trump made headlines by demanding the termination of late-night hosts Jimmy Kimmel and Jimmy Fallon. Trump’s statement on social media emphasized what he perceived as their lack of talent.

“The word is, and it’s a strong word at that, Jimmy Kimmel is NEXT to go in the untalented Late Night Sweepstakes and, shortly thereafter, [Jimmy] Fallon will be gone. These are people with absolutely NO TALENT, who were paid Millions of Dollars for, in all cases, destroying what used to be GREAT Television. It’s really good to see them go, and I hope I played a major part in it!”

This action continues Trump’s total opposition to late-night television personalities, whom he accuses of damaging once-great television. Trump publicly insists that he played a major role in the declining viewership of these shows.

No Crypto Impact from Trump’s Late-Night Remarks

Stephen Colbert’s show cancellation added context to Trump’s remarks; however, Kimmel and Fallon have not made any public statements. Despite Trump’s criticism, there is no crypto-market disturbance linked to these media developments.

Financially, the decision to end Colbert’s show was tagged as purely financial. Analysts highlight the broader industry trend of cost-cutting and digitization that may affect other shows amid declining network profits.

Trump’s Media Criticism Historically Irrelevant to Crypto

Trump’s displeasure with media figures mirrors past conflicts that have not impacted the cryptocurrency sector. Similar high-profile disputes did not cause market shifts historically.

Experts from Kanalcoin indicate that such media controversies generally lack direct implications for cryptocurrencies and blockchain technologies, underscoring the lack of related discussion among crypto influencers.
